Refrain:
Riu, riu, chiu
la guarda ribera /
Dios guardó el lobo
de nuestra cordera /
Dios guardó el lobo
de nuestra cordera.
Verses:
El lobo rabioso
la quiso morder /
Mas Dios Poderoso
la supo defender /
Quizo la hacer que
no pudiese pecar /
Ni aun original
esta virgen no tuviera.
Riu, riu, chiu...
Este que es nascido
es El Gran Monarca /
Cristo Patriarca
de carne vestido /
Ha nos redimido
con se hacer chiquito /
Aunque era infinito
finito se hiciera.
Riu, riu, chiu ...
Este viene a dar
a los muertos vida /
Y viene a reparar
de todos la caida /
Es la luz del dia
aqueste Moçuelo /
Este es el Cordero
que San Juan dijera.
Riu, riu, chiu ...
Yo vi mil Garzones
que andavan cantando /
Por aqui volando
haciendo mil sones /
Diciendo a gascones
Gloria sea en el Cielo /
Y paz en el suelo
pues Jesus nasciera.
Riu, riu, chiu ...
Pues que ya tenemos
lo que deseamos /
Todos juntos vamos
presentes llevemos /
Todos le daremos
nuestra voluntad /
Pues a se igualar
con nosotros viniera.
Riu, riu, chiu ...

Refrain:
Riu, riu, chiu
the river bank protects it /
God kept our lamb (Our Lady)
from the wolf (the Devil) /
God kept our lamb (Our Lady)
from the wolf.
Verses:
The rabid wolf
wanted to bite her /
But Almighty God knew
how to defend her /
He decided to make Her
impervious to sin /
Even original sin
this Virgin did not have.
Riu, riu, chiu….
This One who is born
is the Grand Monarch /
The Patriarch Christ
dressed in human flesh /
He has redeemed us
by making Himself small /
Although He is infinite
He made Himself finite.
Riu, riu, chiu ...
He comes to give life
to those who were dead /
And to repair
the fall of all /
This Child is the light
of the day /
He is the Lamb of whom
St. John the Baptist spoke.
Riu, riu, chiu ...
I saw thousands of Angels
that were singing /
Flying around,
making much music /
Telling the shepherds,
Glory in the Heavens /
and Peace on earth
for Jesus is born.
Riu, riu, chiu ...
Now we have
what we desired /
Let us go together
to present Him gifts /
Let each give
his will to Him /
Because He became
equal to us.
Riu, riu, chiu ...
