Los Tres Santos Reyes

Puerto Rican Carol

Technically not a Christmas Carol - this one is about Epiphany - or Three Kings Day.
It is the Twelfth day after Christmas and in many Spanish speaking parts of the world - this is the day of presents. Honoring the Three Wise ones who travelled from the East bringing their presents. It also marks the beginning of Carnival which we in Galveston call Mardi Gras. A joyous season for certain when Catholics are allowed to eat meat (carne) before the coming of Lent.

Los Tres Santos Reyes, los tres y los tres.

Llegan de noche con gran cautela.
y cuando nadie sus pasos vela.
Al dormitorio del nino van.

They arrive at night with great caution.
and when nobody watches his steps.
They go to the child's bedroom.

Goodbye, because we're leaving now.
