Natal de Elvas

I’m gonna give the Baby
A little ribbon for his hat
And he’ll give me too
A little spot in heaven

I looked up at the sky
It was full of stars
I saw the Baby God
Lying in the hay
Lying in the hay
Stretched out in the hay
Son of a rose
Born from a carnation!

These words the Virgin said
Oh when the Baby was born
Oh come here my golden angel
My divine sacrament

Hey, little donkey
Let’s go to Bethlehem
To see the Baby
That the lady has
That the lady has
That the lady adores
Hey little donkey
Let’s get going
