Christ Is Born in BethlehemAlice Corbin
From “New Mexico Folk-songs”
A New Mexico Nursery Rhyme
Cristo nacio is what the rooster said,
And the hen said, En Belen!
The goats were so curious that they said
Vamos a ver—let us go see!
But the wise old sheep said,
No es menester!—there’s no need of it!
En Belen!
Vamos a ver—
No es menester!
