Dexa el llanto by Juan Manuel Sánchez — Lyrics
Estribillo:
Deja el llanto, Niño mío,
que me da mucho pesar
que para mi redención
gastes tu propio caudal.
R.: Sosiega el llanto,
cese el raudal,
deja el sollozo,
no lloréis más.
Que, aunque pobre nacéis,
no está bien vengáis a llorar.
Coplas:
1. Dios llorando como un niño
en pobre portal está,
viendo que aunque nace rey,
no le conocen por tal.
Y al verlo el niño no puede
contenerse en el llorar.
R.

About Dexa el llanto
This Spanish villancico, Dexa el llanto, is a devotional Christmas piece for SSAT choir. The text addresses the Christ child, urging him to cease his crying. It reflects on his poverty-stricken birth in a humble stable, contrasting his royal status with his unrecognized state. The lyrics express the Virgin Mary's sorrow as she witnesses her son's tears, comparing them to pearls and her to the Star of the Sea. The music likely offers a tender and expressive setting of this poignant Nativity scene, suitable for Advent or Christmas services and concerts.
