Pues andáis en las palmas

Language: Spanish (Español)

Available translation(s): ENG

 Pues andáis en las palmas,
 ángeles santos,
 que se duerme mi niño,
 tened los ramos.

 Palmas de Belén
 que mueven airados
 los furiosos vientos
 que suenan tanto:
 no le hagáis ruido,
 corred más paso,
 que se duerme mi niño,
 tened los ramos.

 El niño divino,
 que está cansado
 de llorar en la tierra
 por su descanso,
 sosegar quiere un poco
 del tierno llanto.
 Que se duerme mi niño,
 tened los ramos.

 Rigurosos yelos
 le están cercando;
 ya veis que no tengo
 con qué guardarlo.
 Ángeles divinos
 que váis volando,
 que se duerme mi niño,
 tened los ramos.
