Las Posadas

The Inn

Las Posadas

In the name of heaven, I ask for a place to stayEn el nombre del cielo os pido posada
For my beloved wife can't walk todayPues no puede andar mi esposa amada

This isn't an inn, keep moving alongAquí no es mesón sigan adelante
I can't let you in, don't want any wrongYo no debo abrir no sea algún tunante

Don't be inhumane, show us some graceNo seas inhumano tennos caridad
The God of the heavens will reward your placeQue el Dios de los cielos te lo premiará

You can leave now, don't make a fussYa se puede ir y no molestar
'Cause if I get mad, I'll make a big fussPorque si me enfado os voy a apalear

My wife is Mary, she's the Queen of the skiesMi esposa es María es Reina del cielo
And she'll be the mother of the divine prizeY madre va ser del divino verbo

Are you Joseph? Is your wife Mary?¿Eres tú José? ¿Tu esposa es María?
Come in, pilgrims, I didn't know you were so merryEntren peregrinos no los conocía

Come in, holy pilgrims, pilgrims take this spaceEntren santos peregrinos, peregrinos reciban este rincón
And though it's humble, I give it with graceY aunque es pobre la morada, la morada os la doy de corazón
Let's sing with joy, joy for all to seeCantemos con alegría, alegría todos al considerar
That Jesus, Joseph, and Mary came to honor theeQue Jesús, José y María y María os vinieron a honrar
