Las Posadas
Villancicos
The Inns
In the name of heaven
I ask you for lodging
Because she can't walk
My beloved wife
This is not an inn
Keep walking along
I shall not open
You might be a thug
Dont be inhumane
Give us charity
For the God of Heaven
Will reward you for it
You can leave now
And dont bother us
Because if I get angry
I will beat you up
My wife is Mary
She's the queen of heaven
And the mother she will be
Of the divine being
Is it you Joseph?
Your wife is Mary?
Come in, pilgrims
I didn't recognise you
May God pay you, gentlemen
For your charity
And may heaven fill you
Of happiness
Blessed is the house
That makes this day happy
To the pure virgin
The beautiful Mary
Enter, holy pilgrims, holy pilgrims
Receive this corner
Though the dwelling is poor, the dwelling
I give it to you from my heart
Enter, holy pilgrims, holy pilgrims
Receive this corner
Though the dwelling is poor, the dwelling
I give it to you from my heart
Enter, holy pilgrims, holy pilgrims
Receive this corner
