Três estrelas de alumínio
A luzir num céu de querosene
Um bêbedo julgando-se césar
Faz um discurso solene
Sombras chinesas nas ruas
Esmeram-se aranhas nas teias
Impacientam-se gazuas
Corre o cavalo nas veias
Há uma luz branca na barraca
Lá dentro uma sagrada família
À porta um velho pneu com terra
Onde cresce uma buganvília
É o presépio de lata
Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Oiçam um choro de criança
Será branca negra ou mulata
Toquem as trompas da esperança
E assentem bem qual a data
A lua leva a boa nova
Aos arrabaldes mais distantes
Avisa os pastores sem tecto
Tristes reis magos errantes
E vem um sol de chapa fina
Subindo a anunciar o dia
Dois anjinhos de cartolina
Vão cantando aleluia
É o presépio de lata
Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Nasceu enfim o menino
Foi posto aqui à falsa fé
A mãe deixou-o sozinho
E o pai não se sabe quem é
É o presépio de lata
Jingle bells, jingle bells
