Popular Christmas Carols in Spanish

Oh Christmas Tree / O Tannenbaum / Qué Verdes Son

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 Oh Christmas Tree / O Tannenbaum in Spanish (or Qué Verdes Son) and you can watch a video of Oh Christmas Tree / O Tannenbaum being sung in Spanish, as well.

This song hails from Germany with the title "O Tannenbaum". This means fir tree or Christmas tree which many musicians have found simply inspiring. This is a very old song as it dates back in the 1550s. A composer named Ernst Anschutz later adapted his own version which has grown popular over the years. Many variations have been adapted since then with the song finally translated to English. This carol has appeared in various recording albums including "A Charlie Brown Christmas", "Christmas with The Chipmunks Vol. 2", "Snoopy's Christmas" and "Ernest Saves Christmas" among many others. The most recent recordings were made in 2010 by Glee and in 2011 by Chicago.
