Original Spanish Lyrics
San José era carpintero, carpintero, ¡Ay !
Y la Virgen lavandera, lavandera, ¡Ay !
El Niño bajó del cielo
En una noche lunera.
San José era carpintero, carpintero, ¡Ay !
San José era carpintero, carpintero, ¡Ay !
Y la Virgen lavandera, lavandera, ¡Ay !
El Niño vino del aire
Camino del paraiso.
San José era carpintero, carpintero, ¡Ay !
English Translation
Saint Joseph was a carpenter
And the Virgin was a laundress.
The Child came down from Heaven
In a moonlit night.
Saint Joseph was a carpenter.
Saint Joseph was a carpenter
And the Virgin was a laundress.
The Child came from the air,
The road to Paradise.
Saint Joseph was a carpenter.
