lyrics

English translation (español abajo):
From my town square I hear a sublime, sublime sound
A sound that calls us, Christmas Eve has finally arrived, finally arrived

The church is filled,
I feel all the heat, the joy of my people

We get together to sing, songs of celebration
The smile on the faces, is marking the occasion

I hear the ding-dong
Of the great bell
I already feel like celebrating

I hear the ding-dong
Of the great bell
I already feel like singing

Now the bells are ringing
Call your neighbor to celebrate, to celebrate
Then I toast the tamales
Roast pig, punch and more
Punch and more

The church is filled,
I feel all the heat, the joy of my people

We get together to sing, songs of celebration
The smile on the faces, is marking the occasion

I hear the ding-dong
Of the great bell
I already feel like celebrating

I hear the ding-dong
Of the great bell
I already feel like singing


The bells ring, hear them ring
Unite the neighbors, let's sing
Look at the girls who are very well dressed
The kids running down the avenue

Where are you going, friend
I greet you and take off my hat
Let's go to celebrate, I invite you
To have a beer, a mojito

The church is filled,
I feel all the heat, ah and the joy of my people

We get together to sing, songs of celebration
The smile on the faces, is marking the occasion

I hear the ding-dong
Of the great bell
I already feel like celebrating

I hear the ding-dong
Of the great bell
I already feel like singing


ESPANOL:
Desde la plaza de mi pueblo oigo un sonido sublime, sublime
Un sonido que nos llama, Noche Buena por fin llegó, por fin llegó

La iglesia se llenó, que candente que se vé
Siento todo el calor, la alegría de mi gente

Nos juntamos a cantar, canciones de celebración
La sonrisa en las caras, está marcando la ocasión

Oigo el talán, tolón, talanga
De la gran campana
Siento ya, ganas de celebrar

Oigo el talán, tolón, talanga
De la gran campana
Siento ya, ganas de cantar

Suenan ahora las campanas
Llama a tu vecino a celebrar, a celebrar
Después brindo los tamales
El lechón asado, ponche y más
Poncho y más

La iglesia se llenó, que candente que se vé
Siento todo el calor, la alegría de mi gente

Nos juntamos a cantar, canciones de celebración
La sonrisa en las caras, está marcando la ocasión

Oigo el talán, tolón, talanga
De la gran campana
Siento ya, ganas de celebrar

Oigo el talán, tolón, talanga
De la gran campana
Siento ya, ganas de cantar



Suenan las campanas, óyelas sonar
Une a los vecinos, vamos a cantar
Miren a las niñas que muy bien vestidas
Los niños corriendo por la avenida

Para donde vá usted compañero
le saludo y me quito el sombrero
vamo’ a festejar, yo lo invito
A tomar una cerveza un mojito

La iglesia se llenó, que candente que se vé
Siento todo el calor, ahy la alegría de mi gente

Nos juntamos a cantar, canciones de celebración
La sonrisa en las caras, está marcando la ocasión

Oigo el talán, tolón, talanga
De la gran campana
Siento ya, ganas de celebrar

Oigo el talán, tolón, talanga
De la gran campana
Siento ya, ganas de cantar
