POSADAS SONG IN ENGLISH

 POSADAS SONG IN ENGLISH

Pilgrims (   ): in the name of heaven, can you give us lodging?

My dear wife´s exhausted after hours of walking

Innkeepers (  ): this is not an inn. I don´t take in strangers

You might be a robber. I can´t risk that danger

Pilgrims (   ): do not be so heartless! Help us, we implore you

God, who sees from heaven, surely will reward you

Innkeepers (   ): I cannot assist you. Find someone who can

 Leave now, or I warn you, you will wish you had

Pilgrims (   ) : We have come from nazareth, walking all the way

I am a poor woodworker. Joseph is my name

Innkeepers (   ): knowing what your name is does not change my answer 

Go, and let me sleep. Stop this useless banter

Pilgrims (   ): please, sir, all we ask is one night of lodging

For the   queen of heaven. Can you offer nothing?

Innkeepers (    ): I´ve Heard many stories; this beats every one

Since when does a queen walk at night alone?

Pilgrims (   ) truly, my wife Mary is a queen most bless´d

She will be the mother   of the Word made flesh

Innkeepers (    ): is that you, Saint Joseph? And the virgin, too?

I would opened sooner if I´d recognized you

All ( both of them ): enter, enter  holy pilgrims, holy pilgrims

Welcome to my humble home

Though it´s Little   I can offer, I can offer,

All   (both of them ):     I have, please call your own

Mary, Joseph and our Savior and our Savior

What a joy to have you here!

We are honored to receive yoou, to receive you

May you stay through all the year!
