Pastor de Los Pastores

The night was cold as usual for this time
But the wind brought the warmth of a birth
A group of shepherds camping in the region
Taking turns to watch over their flocks, and something happened!

As Luke tells it, the Angel appeared to them
And the Lord with His Glory and His Holy Light enveloped them
They were afraid but the messenger dispelled the fear
I bring joyful news to this people

The Savior is born, the Savior is born
The Messiah, the Lord, God is with us
The Savior is born, the Savior is born
With the smell of sheep, the Shepherd of the shepherds is born today

They will find a newborn baby wrapped in swaddling clothes
In a poor manger where animals are kept
And while that angel spoke to them of the sign
A great celestial army appeared by his side

Glory to God in Heaven and peace on Earth to Men

Then all the angels returned to Heaven praising
Those humble men were privileged witnesses
Let's go to Bethlehem to receive what has happened
What God announces to us, that the Holy Fire has already been lit

The Savior is born, the Savior is born

They quickly went, perhaps guided by a bleat
All the Power of God today is a tender baby's cry
And upon reaching the shelter, in the arms of a woman
The baby God drew caresses with His little hands

There are no silver candlesticks, no fine silk, no jewels
The King of the universe sleeps on a little straw mattress
There are no rich, no doctors, no powerful rulers
Only Joseph and Mary and a group of simple shepherds

The Savior is born, the Savior is born
