The Friendly Beasts

Jesus, our brother, kind and good,Jesús, nuestro hermano, amable y bueno,

Was humbly born in a stable rude;Nació humildemente en un establo rústico;

And the friendly beasts around Him stood.Y los animales amigables a su alrededor se encontraban.

Jesus, our brother, kind and good.Jesús, nuestro hermano, amable y bueno.

"I," said the Donkey, shaggy and brown,'Yo', dijo el Burro, peludo y marrón,

"I carried His mother up hill and down;'Llevé a su madre arriba y abajo por la colina;

I carried His mother to Bethlehem town."Llevé a su madre a la ciudad de Belén.'

"I," said the Donkey, shaggy and brown.'Yo', dijo el Burro, peludo y marrón.

"I," said the Cow, all white and red,'Yo', dijo la Vaca, toda blanca y roja,

"I gave Him my manger for His bed;'Le di mi pesebre para su cama;

I gave Him my hay to pillow His head."Le di mi heno para que apoyara su cabeza.'

"I," said the Cow, all white and red.'Yo', dijo la Vaca, toda blanca y roja.

"I," said the Sheep, with the curly horn,'Yo', dijo la Oveja, con el cuerno rizado,

"I gave Him my wool for His blanket warm;'Le di mi lana para su cálida manta;

He wore my coat on Christmas morn."Él llevó mi abrigo en la mañana de Navidad.'

"I," said the Sheep, with the curly horn.'Yo', dijo la Oveja, con el cuerno rizado.

"I," said the Dove, from the rafters high,'Yo', dijo la Paloma, desde lo alto de las vigas,

"I cooed Him to sleep that He should not cry;'Arrullé su sueño para que no llorara;

We cooed Him to sleep, my mate and I."Lo arrullamos para dormir, mi pareja y yo.'

"I," said the Dove, from the rafters high.'Yo', dijo la Paloma, desde lo alto de las vigas.

Thus every beast by some glad spell,Así que cada animal, por algún hechizo alegre,

In the stable dark was glad to tellEn el oscuro establo estaba feliz de contar
