Hoy es Navidad

Representative Text

1 Campanas por doquier resuenan sin cesar;
proclaman con placer que hoy es Navidad.
Los niños con canción la grata nueva dan
de este fía de amor y buena voluntad.

Coro:
¡Navidad! ¡Navidad! ¡Hoy es Navidad!
Es un día de alegría y de felicidad.
¡Navidad! ¡Navidad! ¡Hoy es Navidad!
Es un día de alegría y de felicidad.

2 El Niño de Belén nos trae la salvación;
con júbilo sin par se entona la canción.
Yo te amo, mi Jesús; tus glorias cantaré;
en este día tan feliz me regocijaré. [Coro]
