María English Translation Lyrics by Ricardo Montaner
Mary’s belly had begun to grow
And she had never known love, not even with Joseph
In the town, the whispers had already begun to flow
And so she walked, on her way to Bethlehem
Mary was entrusted with a guiding light
The task of being mother to the great King
And Joseph, who looked at her with love so bright
Built a humble manger just for Him
Oooh, ooh
Who would have told you, Mary
When you saw Him take His very first steps
That you kissed God Himself when you kissed your little boy (Oh, oh, oh)
Who would have told you, Mary
When you fed the lamb, so tender and sweet
That the Lamb of God was your son, Christ Jesus (Oh, oh, oh)
To Mary and Joseph, a child was born that night
And the wise men soon arrived to see Him too
“Congratulations!” shouted God from the heavens’ height
It’s Christmas in a manger at Bethlehem
Oh, oh, oh
Who would have told you, Mary
When you saw Him take His very first steps
That you kissed God Himself when you kissed your little boy (Oh, oh, oh)
Who would have told you, Mary
When you fed the lamb, so tender and sweet
That the Lamb of God was your son, Christ Jesus (Oh, oh, oh)
Who would have told you, Mary
When you saw Him take His very first steps
That you kissed God Himself when you kissed your little boy (Oh, oh, oh)
Who would have told you, Mary
When you fed the lamb, so tender and sweet
That the Lamb of God was your son, Christ Jesus (Oh, oh, oh)
To Mary and Joseph, a child was born that night
It’s Christmas in a manger at Bethlehem
