Canta, Ríe, Bebe

I bought a zambomba, -bombMe he comprado una zambomba, -bomba
A tambourine and a drum, -borUn pandero y un tambor, -bor
And to complete the orchestraY para completar la orquesta
The stove potsLos cacharros del fogón

You take the covers, -derasCoge tú las tapaderas, -deras
That we must not let sleep, -mirQue no hay que dejar dormir, -mir
Neither the one above nor the one belowNi al de arriba ni al de abajo
Not even the one who has guard hereNi al que tiene guardia aquí

Sing, laugh and drink, today is Christmas EveCanta, ríe y bebe, que hoy es Nochebuena
That in these moments there is no need to feel sorryQue en estos momentos no hay que tener pena
Hit the zambomba, hit the pestleDale a la zambomba, dale al almirez
And give your mother-in-law half a walnutY dale a tu suegra la mitad de nuez

Tonight everyone, worldEsta noche todo el mundo, mundo
He is much happier, -tentoEstá mucho más contento, -tento

For dancing and for singingPor bailar y por cantar

Sing, laugh and drink, today is Christmas EveCanta, ríe y bebe, que hoy es Nochebuena
That in these moments, there is no need to feel sorryQue en estos momentos, no hay que tener pena
Hit the zambomba, hit the violinDale a la zambomba, dale al violín
Hit your head and sing happilyDale a la cabeza y canta feliz

To my porter's boy, -teraAl chico de mi portera, -tera
Today they brought him on a stretcher, -illaHoy le han traído en camilla, -illa
For asking for the bonusPor pedir el aguinaldo
To the corner shopkeeperAl tendero de la esquina

To the corner shopkeeper, -quinaAl tendero de la esquina, -quina

To shoot him in the headDe tirarle a la cabeza
A piece of nougatUn pedazo de turrón

Sing, laugh, drink, today is Christmas EveCanta, ríe, bebe, que hoy es Nochebuena
That in these moments there is no need to feel sorryQue en estos momentos no hay que tener pena
Hit the zambomba, hit the frying panDale a la zambomba, dale a la sartén
And tell the shopkeeper to have a good timeY dile al tendero que lo pase bien
