In the name of heaven
Can you give us lodging.
My dear wife’s exhausted,
After hours of walking.
Aqui no es meson,
Sigan Adelante.
Yo no debo abrir,
No sea algun tunante.
This is not an inn.
I don’t take in strangers.
You might be a robber,
I can’t risk the danger.
No seas inhumano,
Tennos caridad
Que el Dio de los cielos
Te lo premiara.
Don not be so heartless,
Help us, we implore you!
God, who sees from heaven,
Surely will reward you.
Ya se pueden ir
Y no molestar
Porque si me enfado
Os voy a apalear
I cannot assist you
Find someone who can.
Leave now or I warn you,
You will wish you had.

Venimos rendidos
Desde Nazaret
Yo soy carpintero
De nombre Jose
We have come from Nazareth
Walking all the way
I am a poor woodworker
Joseph is my name.
No me importa el number
Dejenme dormir
Pues que yo les digo
Que nos hemos de abrir
Knowing what your name is
Does not change my answer
Go and let me sleep
Stop this useless banter
Posada te pide,
Amado casero
Por solo una noche
La Reina del Cielo
Please sir, all we ask
Is one night of lodging
For the Queen of Heaven.
Can you offer nothing?
Pues si es una reina
Quien lo solicita
Como es que de noche
Anda tan solita
I’ve heard many stories
This beats every one
Since when does a queen
Walk at night alone?
