Torches

Words: translated from Galician by J. B. Trend
Music: John Joubert

Torches, torches, run with torches
All the way to Bethlehem!
Christ is born and now lies sleeping;
Come and sing your song to him.

Torches, torches, run with torches
All the way to Bethlehem!
Christ is born and now lies sleeping;
Come and sing your song to him.

Ah, Ro-Ro, Ro-Ro my baby,
Ah, Ro-Ro my love, Ro-Ro;
Sleep you well, my heart's own darling,
While we sing you our Ro-Ro.

Sing, my friends, and make you merry,
Joy and mirth and joy again;
Lo, he lives, the King of Heaven,
Now and evermore. Amen

Lo, he lives, the King of Heaven,
Now and evermore. Amen
