Las Posadas
Misión S.O.S
Lyrics
Translation
En el nombre del cielo, os pido posada
In the name of heaven, I ask you for lodging
Pues no puede andar, mi esposa amada
Because she cannot walk, my beloved wife
Aquí no es mesón, sigan adelante
This is not an inn, go on ahead
Yo no debo abrir, no sea algún tunante
I must not open, in case it's some rogue
No seas inhumano, tennos caridad
Don't be inhumane, have mercy on us
Que el Dios de los cielos, te lo premiará
The God of heaven will reward you
Ya se puede ir, y no molestar
You may go now, and not bother us
Porque si me enfado, os voy a apalear
Because if I get angry, I'll beat you
Venimos rendidos, desde Nazaret
We come exhausted from Nazareth
Yo soy carpintero, de nombre Jose
I am a carpenter, named Joseph
No me importa el nombre, dejene dormir
I don't care about the name, let us sleep
Pues que yo les digo, que no hemos de abrir
Because I tell you, we will not open
Posada te pide, amado casero, por solo una noche
Shelter is requested, dear host, for just one night
La Reina del Cielo
The Queen of Heaven
Pues si es una reina quien lo solicita
Well, if it's a queen who requests it
¿Como es que de noche, anda tan solita?
Why is she walking alone at night?
Mi esposa es Maria, es Reina del Cielo
My wife is Mary, she is the Queen of Heaven
Y madre va a ser del Divino Verbo
And she will be the mother of the Divine Word
¿Eres tu José? ¿tu esposa es María?
Are you Joseph? Is your wife Mary?
Entren peregrinos, no los conocia
Enter, pilgrims, I did not recognize you
Dios pague, señores, vuestra caridad
God reward you, sirs, for your kindness
Y que os colme el cielo, de felicidad
And may heaven fill you with happiness
Dichosa la casa que alberga este dia
Blessed is the house that shelters this day
A la virgen pura, la hemosa Maria
The pure virgin, the beautiful Mary
Entren santos peregrinos, peregrinos reciban este rincón
Enter, holy pilgrims, receive this corner
Y aunque es pobre la morada, la morada os la doy de corazón
And although the dwelling is poor, I offer it with all my heart
Cantemos con alegria, todos al considerar, que Jesus, Jose y Maria
Let's sing with joy, everyone considering that Jesus, Joseph, and Mary
Nos vinieron hoy a honrar
Came today to honor us
Entren santos peregrinos, peregrinos reciban este rincón
Enter, holy pilgrims, receive this corner
Y aunque es pobre la morada, la morada os la doy de corazón
And although the dwelling is poor, I offer it with all my heart
