Popular Christmas Carols in Spanish
Hark the Herald Angels Sing / Escuchad el Son Triunfal
As Christmas time approaches in Guatemala, you will hear many popular Christmas carols in Spanish in schools, at the mall, and as you're driving or walking among the shops. Below you'll find the lyrics to Hark the Herald Angels Sing in Spanish (or Escuchad el Son Triunfal) and you can watch a video of Hark the Herald Angels Sing being sung in Spanish, as well.
This lovely carol was first seen among the works of a famous lyricist named Charles Wesley. It was found in his written work called "Hymns and Sacred Poems" in the 1730s. However, the versions we're now familiar with wasn't the original tune. Wesley's was more slow and somber reminiscent of his personality. The joyful melody that we now hear is a result of the combined efforts of George Whitefield and Felix Mendelssohn. Many adaptations were further made, the last one being done by William H. Cummings. He was an English musician who made the final lyrics and the tune to the song that everyone has grown to love.
Lyrics to Hark the Herald Angels Sing in Spanish
Escuchad el son triunfal
De la hueste celestial:
Paz y buena voluntad;
Salvación Dios os dará.
Cante hoy toda nación
La angelical canción;
Estas nuevas todos den:
Nació Cristo en Belén.
¡Salve, Príncipe de Paz!
Redención traído has.
Lyrics to Hark the Herald Angels Sing in English
Hark the herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King!
Peace on earth and mercy mild
God and sinners reconciled"
Joyful, all ye nations rise
Join the triumph of the skies
With the angelic host proclaim:
"Christ is born in Bethlehem"
Hark the herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King!"
