Original text and translations

English text 1. Twenty-fifth day of December, Fum, fum, fum! Twenty-fifth day of December, Fum, fum, fum! Like the brightest light of morning Was the Baby Jesus born, To the Virgin Mother Mary He was born in a stable dreary, Fum, fum, fum! 2. Birds up in the treetops singing, Fum, fum, fum! Birds up in the treetops singing, Fum, fum, fum! Leave your babies now and fly to where the Holy Babe does lie, Build a nest for Him to sleep in, Soft and safe wherein to keep Him, Fum, fum, fum! 3. Bright stars shining in the heavens, Fum, fum, fum! Bright stars shining in the heavens, Fum, fum, fum! If you see the Baby crying Do not answer with a sigh, But pour all your brightness on Him, Banish darkness all around Him, Fum, fum, fum!

Spanish text 1. Veinticinco de diciembre, Fum, fum, fum! Veinticinco de diciembre, Fum, fum, fum! Nacido ha por nuestro amor, El Niño Dios, el Niño Dios; Hoy de la Virgen María En esta noche tan fría Fum, fum, fum! 2. Pajaritos de los bosques, Fum, fum, fum! Pajaritos de los bosques, Fum, fum, fum! Vuestros hijos de coral Abandonad, abandonad, Y formad un muelle nido A Jesús recién nacido, Fum, fum, fum! 3. Estrellitas de los cielos, Fum, fum, fum! Estrellitas de los cielos, Fum, fum, fum! Que a Jesús miráis llorar Y no lloráis, y no lloráis, Alumbrad la noche oscura Con vuestra luz clara y pura, Fum, fum, fum!
