The Shepherds

Come shepherds from the fields for the king of kings has already been born
Come before dawn breaks as the day is dawning and the night is leaving

Basil and lemon verbena
Thyme and laurel,
So the child falls asleep
At dawn.

Arrive from Pinchas and Chuquis, from Aminga and San Pedro, from Arauco and Poman
Before anyone worships him, we will bring him quesillos and flowers.

Basil and lemon verbena
Thyme and laurel,
So the child falls asleep
At dawn.

Ask Julio Romero for paso horses and his mule to walk
With boxes and guitars we will sing through the olive grove.

Basil and lemon verbena
Thyme and laurel,
So the child falls asleep
At dawn.

Oh Christmas of Aimogasta! Aloja and añapa will not be missing
While the La Rioja moon is dying to join in.

Basil and lemon verbena
Thyme and laurel,
So the child falls asleep
At dawn.
