Bell on bell

And on another bell a

Look out the window

You'll see the child in the manger

Bethlehem, bells of Bethlehem

That the angels are ringing

What news do you bring?

Tending your flock nearby

Where are you going, little shepherd?

I'm heading to the stable

Requesón, butter, and wine

Bethlehem, bells of Bethlehem,

That the angels are ringing

What news do you bring?

Voy a llevar al portal
