Dadme albricias, hijos d'Eva by Anonymous — Lyrics
Dadme albricias hijos d'Eva;
dí, ¿de qué dártelas han?
Que es nascido el nuevo Adán.
¡Oh y de Dios y qué nueva,
oh y de Dios y qué nueva!
Dádmelas y haved placer,

About Dadme albricias, hijos d'Eva
This anonymous Spanish Christmas villancico is a joyous celebration of the Nativity. The text, which means 'Give me good news, children of Eve', implores the listener to share in the delight of the birth of the 'new Adam', Jesus Christ. It proclaims the promised Messiah has been born, a divine and human saviour whose arrival relieves humanity of sin and suffering. The SATB setting would lend itself to a festive occasion, perhaps during Christmas services or concerts, capturing the exultant spirit of the season with its exuberant Spanish text and traditional villancico form.
