Have you enjoyed singing these Christmas carols? If so, here are three more you may want to try. As before, I've included my translation of the Spanish lyrics.
 
Jingle Bells
Navidad, Navidad,
hoy es Navidad.
Con campanas este día hay que festejar
Navidad, Navidad
porque ya nació
ayer noche, Nochebuena,
el niñito Dios.
Christmas, Christmas,
today is Christmas.
With bells this day it is necessary to celebrate
Christmas Christmas, 
because the baby God
already was born last night, Christmas Eve.

 
Angels We Have Heard on High
Hoy en la tierra el cielo envia
una capilla angelical trayendonos paz y alegría,
cantando el himno triunfal.

Gloria a Dios en el cielo,
gloria a Dios en el cielo.

Viene anunciar el nacimiento
de nuestro amable Redentor.
Colmado de agradecimiento
digamos todos con fervor,

Gloria a Dios en el cielo,
Gloria a Dios en el cielo.

Unos pastores que velaban 
en la pradera de Belén
vieron querubes que entonaban 
cantares para nuestro bien.

Today in the land the heaven sends an angelical choir
bringing us peace and happiness,
singing the triumphal hymn.

Glory to God in heaven,
Glory to God in heaven.

It comes to announce the birth of our kind Redeemer.
Abundant with thanksgiving
we all say fervently,.

Glory to God in heaven,
Glory to God in heaven.

Some shepherds were watching in the field of Bethlehem
saw cherubs who sang
songs for our Ideal.


 
O Christmas Tree
Qué verdes son,
qué verdes son
las hojas del abeto.

Qué verdes son,
qué verdes son
las hojas del abeto.

En Navidad 
qué hermoso está
con su brillar
de luces mil.

Qué verdes son,
qué verdes son
las hojas del abeto.

Qué verdes son,
qué verdes son
las hojas del abeto.
Qué verdes son,
qué verdes son
las hojas del abeto.

Sus ramas siempre
airosas son,
su aroma es
encantador.

Qué verdes son,
qué verdes son
las hojas del abeto.

How green are,
how green are
the fir needles.

How green are,
how green are
the fir needles.

At Christmas
how beautiful it is
with its glistening
of a thousand lights.

How green are,
how green are
the fir needles.

How green are,
how green are,
the fir needles.
How green are,
how green are
the fir needles.

Its branches are
always open,
its fragrance
is enchanting.

How green are,
how green are
the fir needles.
