Entren Santos peregrinos, peregrinos, recibán este rincón.
Que aun-que es pobre la morada, la morada, Os la doy de corazón
Come in, strangers, welcome here,now. Welcome here now.Welcome to our humble place.
Though our home is poor, stop wand’ring, poor, stop wand”ring
FOr our hearts are full with grace.
On the nights of Las Posadas, children laugh and try with all their might,
To- win the bright Piñata, Yes, they swing and swing all night!
Dale, Dale, Dale, do not lose el tino,
Turn around and find it on- el camino
For if you should miss it with palote pino
You will feel as foolish as puro pepino!
