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 O Little Town of Bethlehem in Spanish (or Oh Pueblecito de Belén) and you can watch a video of O Little Town of Bethlehem being sung in Spanish, as well.
Oh pueblecito de Belén,
Cuán quieto tú estás.
Los astros en silencio dan
Su bella luz en paz.
Mas en tus calles brilla
La luz de redención
Que da a todo hombre
La eterna salvación.
Nacido el Mesías ha,
Y en Su derredor,
Los santos ángeles de Dios
Vigilan con amor.
Alábenlo los astros;
Las nuevas proclamad
Que a los hombres dan la paz
Y buena voluntad.
Oh, cuán inmenso el amor
Que nuestro Dios mostró
Al enviar un Salvador;
Su Hijo nos mandó.
Aunque Su nacimiento
Pasó sin atención,
Aún lo puede recibir
El manso corazón.
O little town of Bethlehem,
How still we see thee lie;
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by.
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting light;
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight.
For Christ is born of Mary,
And gathered all above,
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love.
O morning stars together,
Proclaim the holy birth,
And praises sing to God the king,
And praises sing to God the king,
How silently, how silently,
The wondrous gift is given;
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of his heaven.
No ear may hear his coming,
But in this world of sin,
Where meek souls will receive him, still
The dear Christ enters in.
