Folksong
Cantan cousas d’agradar,
Os paxariños da terra
Cousas de moito pensar.
Falade ben baixo
Petade pouquiño
Pra que non desperte
O noso Ruliño
Vamos cantando e bailando
Na millor festa que hay
O nacemento do neno
Que está nos brazos da nai.
Falade ben baixo
Petade pouquiño
Praque non desperte
O noso Ruliño

Sing pleasant things,
The little birds of the earth
Sing of things that make us think.
Speak very softly,
Knock very gently,
So it doesn't wake
Our little one.
We are singing and dancing
At the best party of all,
The birth of the little child
Who is in the arms of the mother.
Speak very softly,
Knock very gently,
So it doesn't disturb
Our little one.
