This one, sung by Mr. Arany Zoltán and uploaded by us with his permission, is a Spanish villancico from the 15th Century, and is about a kingfisher (type of bird) who describes the events surrounding the Nativity.
This year many of us lost many things, and many people. Some of us succeeded, some of us failed. Some of us didn't make it, some did.
Take a moment to thank God for allowing you to reach this far, and pray for the souls of those who left us, which we hope are now in His presence.
And if you have a minute, please say a Hail Mary for the soul of my father. Thank you.
Lyrics:
Ríu, ríu, chíu, la guarda ribera,
Dios guardó el lobo de nuestra cordera
El lobo rabioso la quiso morder
Mas Dios Poderoso la supo defender
Quísola hacer que no pudiese pecar
Ni aun original esta virgen no tuviera
Ríu, ríu, chíu, la guarda ribera,
Dios guardó el lobo de nuestra cordera
Éste que es nacido es el Gran Monarca
Cristo Patriarca de carne vestido
Hamos redimido con se hacer chiquito
Aunque era infinito finito se hiciera
Ríu, ríu, chíu, la guarda ribera,
Dios guardó el lobo de nuestra cordera
Muchas profecias lo han profetizado,
Y aun en nuestros dias nos hemos alcanzado:
A Dios humanado vemos en el suelo,
Y al hombre en el cielo, porque le quisiera
Ríu, ríu, chíu, la guarda ribera,
Dios guardó el lobo de nuestra cordera
Yo vi mil Garzones que andavan cantando
Por aqui volando haciendo mil sones
Diciendo a gascones Gloria sea en el Cielo
Y paz en el suelo pues Jesús nasciera
