Representative Text

1 Hacia Belén, se encamina
María con su amante esposo,
llevando en su compañía
a todo un Dios poderoso.

Estribillo:
Alegría, alegría, alegría,
alegría, alegría y placer,
que la Virgen va de paso
con su esposo hacia Belén.
Alegría, alegría, alegría,
alegría, alegría y placer,
que la Virgen va de paso
con su esposo hacia Belén.

2 En cuanto a Belén llegaron
posada al punto pidieron,
nadie les quiso hospedar
porque tan pobres les vieron. [Estribillo]

3 Los pajarillos del bosque
a ver pasar los esposos,
les cantaban melodías
con sus trinos armoniosos. [Estribillo]

In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries. Go to person page >
