En lo alto de la sierra
En el jacal de carboneros
Cuando era media noche
Y temblaban los luceros
A la vida vino un niño
Junto a una flor de fuego
Veinticinco de diciembre
Ni día más ni día menos
Es su madre muy morena
De mirar alegre y tierno
Es su padre un indio fuerte
Leñador de puro nervio
El pelón tiene por cuna
Un huacal lleno de heno
Y al llorar, su llanto rasga
La neblina de los cerros
Ha nacido un nuevo niño
Entre ocotes piñoneros
Sin saber que nace pobre
Porque más, no puede serlo
Sólo hay mamá risueña
Un papá tallado en fierro
Y una cruz que lo proteja
En los años venideros
Navidad de los humildes
En jacal de carboneros
Veinticinco de diciembre
Ni día más, ni día menos
