En Un Establo

Jesús Adrián Romero's song 'En Un Establo' beautifully narrates the humble birth of Jesus Christ, emphasizing the contrast between His divine nature and the modest circumstances of His arrival. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of Jesus being born in a stable, surrounded by animals and wrapped in simple cloth, held by His mother, Mary. This imagery underscores the humility and simplicity of His birth, which stands in stark contrast to His significance as the one who will guide humanity.

The song also touches on the irony of Jesus' birth location. The innkeepers, unaware of the child's divine identity, saw no reason to offer a room to Mary and Joseph. This reflects a broader theme of how the world often overlooks the extraordinary in the ordinary. Despite being the 'first of creation,' Jesus was born in the most unassuming of places, highlighting the theme of humility and the unexpected ways in which divine plans unfold.

Romero's lyrics further celebrate the announcement of Jesus' birth to the shepherds, who were surrounded by a great light and visited by an angel. This moment signifies the spreading of the good news and the joy that comes with the arrival of the Savior. The repeated refrain, 'La voz alzad ha nacido el niño rey,' calls for the raising of voices in celebration of the newborn King, Emmanuel, who brings salvation and is unmatched in His greatness. The song concludes with a call to give glory and honor to Jesus, recognizing Him as the powerful Son of God and the source of salvation.
