Twelve Days (Before) Christmas

Day 8 - Vamos, Pastores, Vamos [Columbia?]

Vamos, Pastores, Vamos is a song for the Christmas season composed in 16th century Spain. The traditional melody accompanies lyrics that invite the shepherds to visit the newborn Jesus and to be witnesses of His glory. It has long been one of the most widely recognized and sung Christmas Carols in the Latin America.

Chorus:
Vamos pastores, vamos (Come, shepherds, come)
Vamos a Belén (Let's go to Bethlehem)
A ver en ese niño (To see in that Child)
La gloria del Edén (The glory of Eden)
A ver en ese niño (To see in that Child)
La gloria del Edén (The glory of Eden)

¡Ese precioso niño! (That precious Boy!)
Yo me muero por Él (I am dying for Him)
Sus ojitos me encantan (I love his little eyes)
Su boquita también (His mouth too)
El padre le acaricia (The father caresses Him)
La madre mira en Él (The mother looks at Him)
Y los dos extasiados (And the two ecstatic)
Contemplan aquel ser (They contemplate that being)
Contemplan aquel ser (They contemplate that being)

CHORUS

Es tan lindo el chiquito (The Little One is so cute)
Que nunca podrá ser (It is unbelievable)
Que su belleza copie (Let her beauty be copied)
El lápiz y el pincel (Pencil and brush)
Pues el Eterno Padre (By the Eternal Father)
Con inmenso poder (With immense power)
Hizo que el Hijo fuera (He made the Son be)
Excelso como Él (Exalted like Him)
Excelso como Él (Exalted like Him)

CHORUS

Vamos, Pastores, Vamos - Estudiantina Guadalajara
