## 2. THREE SPANISH CAROLS

E la don don, Verges Maria

Let us all dance and sing for our sweet Virgin Mary, our loving Queen.

Dadme albricias, hijos d'Eva

Sons of Eve, reward my tidings.
Why should we make gifts to you?
Born is he, the Adam new.
Almighty God, what glad tidings.

Riu, Riu, Chiu

Guard our homes in safety. God has kept the black wolf from our lamb,
our lady. Raging mad to bite her, there the wolf did steal, but our
God almighty defended her with zeal. Pure he wished to keep her so she
could sever sin; That first sin of man never touched this virgin
sainted.
