Villancico Laico-gitano

Come, friend!, let's go see¡Vente, amigo!, vamos a ver
The new man that is about to be bornAl hombre nuevo que va a nacer
Courage and fortuneEl valor y la fortuna
Will fight to open his cradleSe pelearán por abrirle la cuna
He is so lively and funnyEs tan vivo y tan gracioso
That you don't remember to see if he is handsomeQue no te acuerdas de ver si es hermoso

Come, child!, let's go see¡Vente, niño!, vamos a ver
This new sun that wants to be bornA este sol nuevo que quiere nacer
Come see how the living flameVente a ver cómo ha brotado
Of the extinguished fire has sproutedLa llama viva del fuego apagado

He will cry without reasonLlorará sin fundamento
And forgets when he is happyY se le olvida cuando está contento
The little one doesn't understandNo comprende el churumbel
But neither do we understand himPero tampoco nosotros a él

Come, cousin!, let's go see¡Vente, prima!, vamos a ver
The new moon that begins to growLa luna nueva que empieza a crecer
Come see how the fresh branchVente a ver como ha salido
Of the broken tree has emergedLa rama fresca del árbol partido

He may not see the futureNo podrá ver el futuro
But he will know how to live insecurelyPero sabrá vivir inseguro
He will be like any otherSerá igual que otro cualquiera
But in his own style and wayPero a su estilo y a su manera

Come, friend!, let's go see¡Vente, amigo!, vamos a ver
The clear fountain that starts to flowLa fuente clara que rompe a correr
Come, friend!, let's go see¡Vente, amigo!, vamos a ver
If the new man could be bornSi el hombre nuevo pudiera nacer
