YA VIENE LA VIEJA
(Traditional Spanish Carol)
 

Ya viene la vieja 
Con el agui naldo
Le parece mucho,
Le viene quitando.

Estribillo:
Pampanitos verdes, hojas de limon,
La Virgen Maria, Madre del Senor.

Ya vienen los Reyes
Por el arenal,
Y le traen al Nino
Un torre real.

Estribillo

Y vienen los Reyes
Por aquel camino,
Y le traen al Nino
Sopitas en vino.

Estribillo

English Translation:
COME MY DEAR OLD LADY


Come, my dear old lady,
With a little present
That you love so dearly.

Refrain:
Offer it to Jesus.
We're weaving a garland of green lemon leaves,
For sweet Virgin Mary, the Mother of God.

Kings of Orient riding,
Cross the sandy desert,
Bringing for the Baby
Wine and cookies sweet.

Refrain

Kings of Orient riding,
Guided by the starlight,
Bringing to the Baby
Gifts of love, this night.
