Lyrics
En torno a la mesa
es todo alegría,
se olvida una pena,
se olvida el rencor.
Y en la cabecera,
la abuela dichosa
estrecha amorosa
al nietecito menor.

Dos lágrimas tiemblan
en cada pupila,
refleja su rostro
feliz emoción.
Los nietos rodean
su blanca cabeza,
formando una rueda
de dicha y amor.

Brindemos, hermanos,
brindemos, amigos.
Salud para el Padre,
bendígalo, Dios.
Y para ti, Madre,
un beso profundo
de mi corazón.

Campanas de gloria
echadas al vuelo
repican y dicen
por la inmensidad.
Que hay paz en la tierra
y hay luz en el cielo
repican y dicen
Feliz Navidad!
English translation
Around the table
it's all joy,
sorrow is forgotten,
a grudge is forgotten.
And at the head of the table
the blissful grandmother
lovingly embraces
the youngest grandchild.

Two tears tremble
in each pupil,
reflecting her face
happy emotion.
The grandchildren surround
her white head,
forming a wheel
of joy and love.

Let's toast, brothers,
let us toast, friends.
Cheers to the Father,
bless him, God.
And to you, Mother,
a deep kiss
from my heart.

Bells of glory
in flight
they ring and say
through the immensity.
That there is peace on earth
and there is light in the sky
they ring and say
Merry Christmas!
