Yo soy Vicentillo
"Yo soy Vicentillo" is both a lullaby and a Christmas carol. Many Spanish lullabies were originally sung as carols and now they're sung as either.
Yo soy Vicentillo
I am Little Vincent
Canción de cuna
Lullaby
(Spanish)
(English)
Yo soy Vicentillo
Que vengo a cantar
Y al Niño que llora,
Hacerlo callar,
Y al Niño que llora,
Hacerlo callar.
Mi sol sol sol sol,
Mi sol sol sol sol,
No llores, bien mío,
No llores más no
No llores bien mío,
No llores más no.
I am Little Vincent
And I come to sing
And to the child who is crying,
To quiet him.
And to the child who is crying,
To quiet him.
My sun, sun, sun, sun.
My sun, sun, sun, sun.
Don't cry, my love.
Don't cry anymore, don't.
Don't cry, my love.
Don't cry anymore, don't.
In the recording below you can hear this song sung as a Christmas carol...
Many thanks to Mrs. Mynelle Howells and her 6AA Spanish class (2007) from Trinity Lutheran School for singing for us!
