You’re going to love the video below.
It’s Esperanza la del Maera of Triana Pura singing and dancing her Villancicos por Tangos.
Here is the estribillo, the chorus:
Fuera las penas
viva la alegría
porque esta noche ha parío María.
Fuera las penas,
viva la alegría
porque esta noche ha nacío el Mesías.
Away with pain
Long live happiness
for tonight the Virgin Mary gave birth.
Away with pain
Long live happiness
for tonight the Messiah was born.
