Alegría, Alegría, Alegría

The Virgin carries a rose
In his divine chest
That Saint Joseph gave it to him
Before the child was born

Joy, joy, joy
Joy, happiness and pleasure
That tonight the child is born
At the Portal of Bethlehem

In a dark portal
Full of cobwebs
The Virgin Mary had
To the Child of his womb

Joy, joy, joy
Joy, happiness and pleasure
That tonight the child is born
At the Portal of Bethlehem

They made soups for the boy
He didn't want to eat them
And how sweet they were
Saint Joseph ate them

Joy, joy, joy
Joy, happiness and pleasure
That tonight the child is born
At the Portal of Bethlehem

Everyone takes the child
I don't have anything to take him
I will give you my heart
Let it serve as diapers

Joy, joy, joy
Joy, happiness and pleasure
That tonight the child is born
At the Portal of Bethlehem

Joy, joy, joy
Joy, happiness and pleasure
That tonight the child is born
At the Portal of Bethlehem
