Esta noche es Nochebuena

Vamos al monte, hermanito
We go to the mountain, little brother
A cortar un arbolito
To cut down a little tree
Porque la noche es serena
Because the night is serene
Los reyes y los pastores

Andan siguiendo una estrella
Are following a star
Le cantan a Jesusito
They sing to little Jesus
Hijo de la Virgen bella

Arbolito, arbolito
Little tree, little tree

Quiero que seas bonito
I want you to be beautiful
Que al recién nacido te voy a ofrecer
Because to the newborn I will offer you
Iremos por el camino, caminito de Belén
We will go along the path, little path to Bethlehem
Iremos porque esta noche

Iremos porque esta noche
We will go because tonight
