Ha nacido en un portal
 Llenito de telaranas,
Entre la mula y el buey,
El Redentor de las almas.

Estribillo:
Este es un lerum, lamaruxina,
Este es un lerum en el portal;
Vaya prosigo este cantar,
Vaya prosigo este cantar.
Lerum, lerum, lerum, la!
(Que viva!)

En el portal de Belen
Hay estrella, sol y luna:
La Virgen y San Jose
Y el Nino que esta en la cuna

Estribillo

Entro al portal un gallego
Que vengo desde Galicia
Y le traigo al Nino Dios
Lienzo para una camisa

Estribillo

Entro un gitano al portal
De Granada vengo a aqui
Y le traigo al Nino Dios
Un gallo quiquirqui.

Estribillo

He is born within a stable,
In the bitter cold of winter;
'Twixt the ox and ass He's lying,
Heaven's Babe, the world's redeemer.

Refrain:
Sing now of Jesus, of the dear baby,
O what a wondrous gift from above!
He has our hearts and all of our love!
He has our hearts and all of your love!
Lerum, lerum, lerum. la!

There within the dingy stable
Sun and moon and star are shining:
Joseph, Mary and the Baby,
For whom all our hearts were pining.

Refrain

To His side, a lowly shepherd,
From the Spanish plains appearing,
Brings the Baby gifts of linen,
So a shirt He can be wearing.

Refrain

Also near Him stands a gypsy
From Granada he comes hieing,
Bringing to the Babe a rooster;
"Cock-a-doodle-doo," it's crying.
