Vengan pastores del campo que el rey de los reyes ha nacido ya
Vengan antes que amanezca que ya apunta el dia y la noche se va
Albahaca y cedron
Tomillo y laurel,
Que el niño se duerme
Al amanecer.
Lleguen de pinchas y chuquis, de aminga y san pedro, de arauco y poman
Antes que nadie le adore quesillos y flores le vam' a llevar.
Albahaca y cedron
Tomillo y laurel,
Que el niño se duerme
Al amanecer.
Pidanle a julio romero caballos de paso y su mula de andar
Con cajas y con guitarras iremos cantando por el olivar.
Albahaca y cedron
Tomillo y laurel,
Que el niño se duerme
Al amanecer.
¡ay navidad de aimogasta! aloja y añapa no habra de faltar
Mientras la luna riojana se nuere de ganas de participar.
Albahaca y cedron
Tomillo y laurel,
Que el niño se duerme
Al amanecer.
