Composer: Matías Durango (1636-1698)

Music: ‘Pues mi Dios ha nacido’ (Villancico a la Navidad a 4)

Performer: La Boz Galana

Pues mi Dios ha nacido por mí, déjenle volar
Pues está desvelado por mí, déjenle dormir
que no hay pena en quien duerme en el sueño 
se ensaya a morir, déjenle dormir.
Silencio, silencio, que duerme, cuidado, que vela.
No le despierten, si le despierten, déjenle velar.
Pues del cielo a la tierra rendido Dios viene por mí;
si es la vida jornada sea el sueño posada feliz.
