El baratillo by Matías Ruiz — Lyrics
Atención al baratillo de Belén donde el rebusco
De la pesca y el zebillo anda tode leperusco,
de gala, anzuelo y gatillo.
Como a los Reyes espera el Niño
Por sisarle los dones andan muy listos.
Atención, que ya llegan buyendo
Al Baratillo los baratilleros
Alfajor y panocha, gragea, hilo fino,
Tijeras, patos deonce puntos los busco baratos
Para Herodes de un pie que cojea tinta fina, cañones, oblea,
atención y prosigue la idea
marchante! Un sombrero bueno y grande lo quiero
que es el sol de Belén sin tamaño
una silla, un tintero de estaño
digan que se acaba el año
villancicos que esta noche buena compuso un devoto
¿tiene usted un gabán?
Auque roto, servir puede y es poco su importe
Puntas, busco, el buey tiene un buen corte
Atención, que prosigue el pregón,

About El baratillo
The Spanish text of this villancico paints a lively scene in Bethlehem, depicting a bustling marketplace where people hawk their wares in anticipation of the arrival of the Magi and the Infant Jesus. Various goods are described, from sweets and fine threads to scissors and even cannons, all available at bargain prices. The singers are encouraged to pay attention to this 'little market' where devotional songs have been composed for this holy night. This Sacred work is set for SSAT voices and suits a choir looking for an engaging, narrative piece with a clear sense of place and occasion, offering a vivid portrayal of a traditional Christmas scene.
