Alumbra El Zaguán [Song]


ALUMBRA EL ZAGUAN
Composed by Hugo Blanco
Sung by Grupo Venezuela Serenata y Folklore del sur de la Florida

Yo traigo una cruz de palma bendita
Yo traigo una cruz de palma bendita
Me la dio Jesús esta mañanita
Me la dio Jesús esta mañanita

I bring a cross of blessed palm
I bring a cross of blessed palm
Jesus gave it to me this morning
Jesus gave it to me this morning.

Alumbra, alumbra, alumbra, alúmbrame el zaguán,
Alumbra, alumbra, alumbra, alúmbrame el zaguán,
Eso se acostumbra en la Navidad.
Alumbra, alumbra, alumbra, alúmbrame el zaguán,
Alumbra, alumbra, alumbra, alúmbrame el zaguán,
Porque en la penumbra no puedo cantar.

Light up, light up, light up the entrance,
Light up, light up, light up the entrance,
It is customary at Christmas.
Light up, light up, light up the entrance,
Light up, light up, light up the entrance,
Because I cannot sing in the darkness.

Ya puse la cruz sobre la bandera
Ya puse la cruz sobre la bandera
Así está Jesús junto a Venezuela
Así está Jesús junto a Venezuela

I put the cross upon the flag
I put the cross upon the flag
Like this, Jesus is with Venezuela
Like this, Jesus is with Venezuela.


Alumbra, alumbra, alumbra, alúmbrame el zaguán,
Alumbra, alumbra, alumbra, alúmbrame el zaguán,
Eso se acostumbra en la Navidad.
Alumbra, alumbra, alumbra, alúmbrame el zaguán,
Alumbra, alumbra, alumbra, alúmbrame el zaguán,
Porque en la penumbra no puedo cantar.

Light up, light up, light up the entrance,
Light up, light up, light up the entrance,
It is customary at Christmas.
Light up, light up, light up the entrance,
Light up, light up, light up the entrance,
Because I cannot sing in the darkness.


Y la palma real que nadie la nombra
Y la palma real que nadie la nombra
Allá en el portal está dando sombra
Allá en el portal está dando sombra

And the royal palm that nobody appointed
And the royal palm that nobody appointed
Beyond the portal is giving shade
Beyond the portal is giving shade.


Alumbra, alumbra, alumbra, alúmbrame el zaguán,
Alumbra, alumbra, alumbra, alúmbrame el zaguán,
Eso se acostumbra en la Navidad.
Alumbra, alumbra, alumbra, alúmbrame el zaguán,
Alumbra, alumbra, alumbra, alúmbrame el zaguán,
Porque en la penumbra no puedo cantar.

Light up, light up, light up the entrance,
Light up, light up, light up the entrance,
It is customary at Christmas.
Light up, light up, light up the entrance,
Light up, light up, light up the entrance,
Because I cannot sing in the darkness.


Pa’ que nos proteja de malas visitas
Pa’ que nos proteja de malas visitas
Póngame en la reja la palma bendita
Póngame en la reja la palma bendita

In order to protect us from misfortune
In order to protect us from misfortune
Put the blessed palm on the fence
Put the blessed palm on the fence.


Alumbra, alumbra, alumbra, alúmbrame el zaguán,
Alumbra, alumbra, alumbra, alúmbrame el zaguán,
Eso se acostumbra en la Navidad.
Alumbra, alumbra, alumbra, alúmbrame el zaguán,
Alumbra, alumbra, alumbra, alúmbrame el zaguán,
Porque en la penumbra no puedo cantar.

Light up, light up, light up the entrance,
Light up, light up, light up the entrance,
It is customary at Christmas.
Light up, light up, light up the entrance,
Light up, light up, light up the entrance,
Because I cannot sing in the darkness.


Fíjense en la espada de Simón Bolívar
Fíjense en la espada de Simón Bolívar
Es como la palma que viva, que viva
Es como la palma que viva, que viva.

Look at the sword of Simón Bolívar
Look at the sword of Simón Bolívar
It's like the palm that lives, that lives
It's like the palm that lives, that lives.

Thank you Grupo Venezuela Serenata y Folklore del sur de la Florida.

"Patria est communis omnium parens" - Our native land is the common parent of us all. Keep it beautiful, make it even more so.

Blessed is all of creation
Blessed be my beautiful people
Blessed be the day of our awakening
Blessed is my country
Blessed are her patient hills.

Mweh ka allay!
