VILLANCICO (Spanish)
(Gloria Fuertes [1917-1998] Paco Ibáñez 1934-)

Ya está el niño en el portal
que nació en la portería,
San José tiene taller,
y es la portera María.

Vengan sabios y doctores
a consultarle sus dudas,
el niño sabelotodo
está esperando en la cuna.

Dice que pecado es
hablar mal de los vecinos
y que pecado no es
besarse por los caminos.

Que se acerquen los pastores
que me divierten un rato
que se acerquen los humildes,
que se alejen los beatos.

Que pase la Magdalena,
que venga San Agustín,
que esperen los reyes magos
que les tengo que escribir.
CAROL


The child is already in the creche,
He who was born in the porter's lodge,
St. Joseph has a workshop,
And Mary is the doorkeeper.

Let wise men and doctors come
To consult him about their doubts,
The all-knowing child
Is waiting in the cradle.

He says that it is a sin
To speak ill of one's neighbors
And that it's not a sin
To kiss each other on the roads.

Let the shepherds come close
Who amuse me for a while,
Let the humble come closer,
Let the sanctimonious go away.

Let the Magdalene pass by,
Let St. Augustine come,
Let the Magi wait
For I have to write to them.

Live rendition by Paco Ibáñez
The very same song recorded by Paco Ibáñez with paintings (Botticelli, Dürer...)
