Spanish Christmas Songs |
Can you ever think of a Christmas celebration without the music of the season? Few things speak of the wonder and joy of the season, as does the music itself. The songs of Christmas go beyond the cultures, borders and traditions to spread the message of love and harmony.
Spanish Christmas songs highlight the tradition of Christmas celebration in Spain.
Among the most popular Spanish Christmas songs is The Fishes in the River (Los Peces en el rio). The song paints a contrast between the fishes in the river and Virgin Mary. The fishes are found to be very happy and excited about the birth of the baby Jesus but Virgin Mary stays busy with her daily activity. The writer of the song is unknown but the song displays a touch of Arabic tunes in it. You may get hold of the song in any collection of Spanish language Christmas tunes.
The Fishes in the River
The Virgin is combing her hair
between the curtains.
Her hairs are of gold
and the comb of fine silver.
CHORUS:
But look at how the fishes
in the river drink.
But look how they drink
in order to see God born.
They drink and they drink
and they return to drink,
the fishes in the river,
to see God being born.

The Virgin washes diapers
and hangs them on the rosemary,
the birdies singing
and the rosemary flowering.
CHORUS
The virgin is washing herself
with a little bit of soap.
Her hands have been irritated,
the hands of my heart.
CHORUS
The song is a delicate piece of Spanish Christmas music. To gather more information on Spanish Christmas songs pay a visit to our site
