CONSPIRARE CHRISTMAS

Hark the herald angels sing / “Glory to the newborn King!
Peace on earth and mercy mild / God and sinners reconciled”
Joyful, all ye nations rise / Join the triumph of the skies
With the angelic host proclaim: / “Christ is born in Bethlehem”
Hark! The herald angels sing / “Glory to the newborn King!”
—Charles Wesley

Do you hear what I hear?
Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy / Do you hear what I hear
Ringing through the sky shepherd boy / Do you hear what I hear
A song, a song / High above the tree
With a voice as big as the sea / With a voice as big as the sea
Said the king to the people everywhere / Listen to what I say
Pray for peace people everywhere / Listen to what I say
The child, the child / Sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light / He will bring us goodness and light.

A la Nanita Nana
A la nanita nana,
Mi Jesús tiene sueño
bendito sea nanita sea.
Fuentecilla que corres clara y sonora,
Ruiseñor q’en la selva,
Cantando lloras,
Callad mientras la cuna se balancea.
A la nanita, nanitaea benditosea, nanitaea.
—Traditional
Blest be my baby Jesus,
now go to sleep now go to sleep.

Nightingale in the forest,
weeping so sweetly,
Hush, while the child is sleeping laid in a cradle.
