E la don don Verges Maria by Anonymous — Lyrics
E la don don, Verges Maria,
E la don don, peu cap de sang
Que nos densaron.
E la don don.
1. O garçons aquesta nit
Una verge n'a parit,
Un filio qu'es tro polit,
Que non au tan en lo mon.
E la don don.
2. Digas nos qui te l'a dit,
Que Verges n'a ya parit,
Que nos may avem ausit
Lo que tu diu giràn ton.
E la don don.
3. A eo dian los argeus,
Que cantavan alta veus
La grolla n'exelsis Deus,
Qu'en Belén lo trobaron.
E la don don.

About E la don don Verges Maria
This anonymous Catalan villancico is a delightful Christmas carol, perfect for a festive seasonal programme. The SATB setting brings to life the joyful, yet humble, scene of the Nativity. The text jubilantly proclaims the birth of the Virgin Mary's son, a beautiful child, and recounts the angelic announcements and the shepherds' visit. It also paints a tender picture of the infant Jesus wrapped in swaddling clothes. The recurring refrain 'E la don don' adds a charming, memorable quality to this evocative sacred work.
