Original text and translations

Spanish text

No la devemos dormir la noche sancta,
no la devemos dormir.

La Virgen a solas piensa qué hará
cuando al Rey de luz inmenso parirá,
si de su divina essencia temblará,
o qué la podrá dezir, o qué la podrá dezir.

No la devemos dormir la noche sancta,
no la devemos dormir.
