Cantaba José - Rocio Jurado

Descansando al lado de un pozo

A la sombra de un ciprés

A la sombra de un ciprés

Los pastores se han parado

Antes de llegar a Belén;

Antes de llegar a Belén

Cantaba José

María lavaba

Tendiendo los trapos

Pa que se secaran

Pa que se secaran

Pa que se secaran

El Niño dormía

José le cantaba

Una pareja de ángeles

Llegaron a toda prisa;

Llegaron a toda prisa

A ver al Niño Divino

Y a darle los buenos días

Y a darle los buenos días

Estando todos los pastores

Haciendo de centinela

Haciendo de centinela;

Adorando al Rey del Cielo

Sobre su cuna más bella

Sobre su cuna más bella

Con su Niño en la rodilla

José le estaba cantando

José le estaba cantando

Mientras María lavaba

En un arroyo cercano

En un arroyo cercano

Resting next to a well

In the shade of a cypress

In the shade of a cypress

The shepherds have stood

Before arriving in Bethlehem;

Before arriving in Bethlehem

Jose sang

Mary washed

hanging out the rags

So that they dry

So that they dry

So that they dry

The boy was sleeping

Jose sang to him

a couple of angels

They came in a hurry;

They came in a hurry

To see the Divine Child

And to say good morning

And to say good morning

Being all the shepherds

playing sentinel

Playing sentinel;

Worshiping the King of Heaven

On his most beautiful cradle

On his most beautiful cradle

With her child on her knee

José was singing to him

José was singing to him

While Mary washed

in a nearby stream

in a nearby stream
