La virgen se esta peinando
The virgin is combing her hair
Entre cortina y cortina
Between curtain and curtain
Los cabellos son de oro
Her hair is made of gold
Y el peine de plata fina
And the comb is of fine silver
Pero mira como beben los peces en el rio
But look how the fish drink in the river
Pero mira como beben por ver a Dios nacido
But look how they drink to see God born
Beben y beben y vuelven a beber
They drink and drink and drink again
Los peces en el rio por ver a Dios nacer
The fish in the river to see God born
La virgen esta lavando
The virgin is washing
Y tendiendo en el romero
And spreading on the rosemary
Los angelitos cantando
The little angels singing
Y el romero floreciendo
And the rosemary blooming
Pero mira como beben los peces en el rio
But look how the fish drink in the river
Pero mira como beben por ver a Dios nacido
But look how they drink to see God born
Beben y beben y vuelven a beber
They drink and drink and drink again
Los peces en el rio por ver a Dios nacer
The fish in the river to see God being born
La virgen va caminando
The virgin is walking
Va caminando solita
She walks alone
No lleva mas compañia
She has no other company
Que el niño de la manita
Than the child by the hand
Pero mira como beben los peces en el rio
But look how the fish drink in the river
Pero mira como beben por ver a Dios nacido
But look how they drink just to see God born
Beben y beben y vuelven a beber
They drink and drink and drink again
Los peces en el rio por ver a Dios nacer
The fish in the river to see God be born
La virgen esta lavando
The virgin is washing
Con un poco de jabon
With a little bit of soap
Se le picaron las manos
Her hands got chafed
Manos de mi corazón
Hands of my heart
Pero mira como beben los peces en el rio
But look how the fish drink in the river
Pero mira como beben por ver a Dios nacido
But look how they drink just to see God born
Beben y beben y vuelven a beber
They drink and drink and drink again
Los peces en el rio por ver a Dios nacer
The fish in the river to see God born
Pero mira como beben los peces en el rio
But look how the fish drink in the river
Pero mira como beben por ver a Dios nacido
But look how they drink to see God born
Beben y beben y vuelven a beber
They drink and drink and drink again
Los peces en el rio por ver a Dios nacer
The fish in the river to see God born
