  1. Carols and Lullabies: IX. Chiquirriquitin

From the recording Christmas with Conrad

Share

(The title word is probably a variant of chiquero, meaning “stable,”“manger” or “sty,” thus, Ay del chiquirriquitín probably means “Oh, in the manger!”)

Lyrics

¡Chiquirriquitín!
¡Ay del chiquirriquitín, metidito entre pajas,
¡Ay del chiquirriquitín, queridito del alma.

Por debajo del arco
Del portaliño
Se descubre a María, José y el Niño.

¡Chiquirriquitín! ...

Entre el buey y la mula
Dios ha nacido,
Y en un pobre pesebre lo han recogido.

Translation:
Ay del chiquirriquitín,
He is laid in a manger bed.
Ay del chiquirriquitín,
follow us to the manger.
Find them all through the doorway, there in the stable,
Mary, Joseph, and Jesus, their holy baby.

Ay del chiquirriquitín,
He is laid in a manger bed.
Ay del chiquirriquitín,
follow us to the manger.

Ox and mule are his guardians
sleeping beside him,
In the poorest stables humbly abiding.
