Los Pastores [English translation]

Come shepherds of the fields

Because the king of kings has been born

Come before the dawn

It's already light and the night will soon be fading

CHORUS:

Basil and lemon verbena

Thyme and laurel

The child sleeps

At daybreak

Come from Pinchas and Chuquis,

From Aminga, San Pedro, Arauco and Pomán

Before anyone else they will pay tribute

Bringing quesillos (puddings) and flowers

CHORUS

Ask Julio Romero

For Peruvian horses and pack mules

With cajas (hand drums) and guitars

We'll sing through the olive groves

CHORUS

Oh, Christmas in Aimogasta (NW Argentinia)

We have plenty of aloja (liquour) and añapa (dessert)

While the La Rioja moon

Is just dying to join in

CHORUS
