From Villancicos de diversos autores, 1556, attributed to Mateo Flecha the elder (1481-1443).
lyrics
E la don don, Verges Maria, E la don don,
peu cap de sang que nos densaron. E la don don.
(1) O garçons aquesta nit una verge n'a parit,
Un filio qu'es tro polit, que non au tan en lo mon.
(2.) Digas nos qui te l'a dit, que Verges n'a ya parit,
Que nos may avem ausit lo que tu diu giràn ton.
(3) A eo dian los argeus, Que cantavan altas veus
La Grolla necelsis Deus, Quen Belem lo trobaron.
(4) Per señau nos an birat, Que verets enbolicat
De drapets, molt mal faxat: Lo ver Diu petit garçon.
(5) Vin, Perot, y à Diu veray, Ya la Verge sa may
Un sorron li prtaray, Que sera ple de coucom.
(6) Ara canta tu, Beltran, Per amor deu sant Infan
Y apres cantara Joan, Y donar nos an coucom.
(7) Ube cantare sus dich, Per Jesus, mon bon amich
Que nos saunara la nit, De tot mal quan hom fedorm.
REFRAIN: She is our Lady, the Virgin Mary. and "don don",
bright pale are the feet that dance for us, and she is our Lady.
(1) O lads! On this night a virgin gave birth to a fine boy
without equal in this world.
(2) Say who told you so, that a virgin gave birth,
for we've never heard the like.
(3) The angels said so singing in loud voices
'Gloria in excelsis Deus', and he is to be found in Bethlehem.
(4) Through signs we were told that truth would be wrapped
in a very poor blanket, a small boy, the true God.
(5) Peter comes near and to God and the Virgin
he brings a bundle that is full of treats.
(6) Now Father Beltran will sing for love of the Holy Child
and after, John will sing and then they’ll give us sweets.
(7) He will sing his song for Jesus my good friend
who will guard us from all harm while we sleep through the night.
