Текст и перевод песни Sixpence None the Richer - Riu Riu Chiu

Riu Riu Chiu

Riu, riu, chiu
La guarda ribera
Dios guarde el lobo
De nuestra cordera.
El lobo rabioso la quiso morder,
Mas Dios poderoso la supo defender;
Quisole hazer que no pudiesse pecar,
Ni aun original esta Virgen no tuviera.
Riu, riu, chiu, etc.
Este qu'es nascido es el gran monarca,
Cristo patriarca de carne vestido;
Hanos redimido con se hazer chiquito,
Aunqu'era infinito, finito se hizera.
Riu, riu, chiu, etc.
Muchas profecias lo han profetizado,
Y aun en nuestros dias lo hemos alcancado.
A Dios humanado vemos en el suelo
Y al hombre nel cielo porqu'er le quisiera.
Riu, riu, chiu, etc.
Yo vi mil Garzones que andavan cantando,
Por aqui bolando, haciendo mil sones,
Diziendo a gascones Gloria sea en el cielo,
Y paz en el suelo qu'es Jesus nascieta.
Riu, riu, chiu, etc.
Este viene a dar a los muertos vida
Y viene a reparar de todos la caida;
Es la luz del dia aqueste mocuelo;
Este es el cordero que San Juan dixera.
Riu, riu, chiu, etc.
Pues que ya tenemos lo que desseamos,
Todos juntos vamos presentes llevemos;
Todos le daremos nuestra voluntad,
Pues a se igualar con el hombre viniera.
Riu, riu, chiu, etc

Riu Riu Chiu

Riu, riu, chiu
The guardian riverbank
God save the wolf
From our little lamb.
The rabid wolf wanted to bite it,
But God, powerful, knew how to defend it;
He wanted to make it so that she could not sin,
This Virgin would not have even original sin.
Riu, riu, chiu, etc.
This one who is born is the great monarch,
The patriarch Christ, clothed in flesh;
He has redeemed us by making himself small,
Although he was infinite, he made himself finite.
Riu, riu, chiu, etc.
Many prophecies have prophesied it,
And even in our days we have witnessed it.
We see God humanated on earth
And man in heaven because he loved him.
Riu, riu, chiu, etc.
I saw a thousand young men who were singing,
Flying through the air, making a thousand sounds,
Saying to the Gascons "Glory be in heaven,
And peace on earth that Jesus is born".
Riu, riu, chiu, etc.
This one comes to give life to the dead
And comes to repair the fall of all;
This little boy is the light of day;
This is the lamb that Saint John spoke of.
Riu, riu, chiu, etc.
Since we now have what we desire,
Let us all go and bring him presents;
Let us all give him our will,
Since he came to equal himself with man.
Riu, riu, chiu, etc
