Lyrics

Ríu Ríu Chíu

Ríu, ríu, chíu

La guarda ribera

Dios guardó el lobo de nuestra cordera

Ríu, ríu, chíu

La guarda ribera

Dios guardó el lobo de nuestra cordera

Ríu ríu, chíu riba

Ríu chíu, chíu riba

El lobo rabioso la quiso morder

Mas Dios Poderoso la supo defender

Quísola hacer que no pudiese pecar

Ni aun original esta virgen no tuviera

Ríu, ríu, chíu

La guarda ribera

Ríu, ríu, chíu

La guarda ribera

Ríu, ríu, chíu

La guarda ribera

Ríu, ríu, chíu

La guarda ribera

Este viene a dar a los muertos vida

Y viene a reparar de todos la caida

Es la luz del dia aqueste mocuelo

Este es el cordero que San Juan dixera

Ríu ríu, chíu riba

Ríu chíu, chíu riba

Yo vi mil Garzones que andavan cantando

Por aqui bolando, haciendo mil sones

Ríu, ríu, chíu,  yeah, the joy for singing

Message of delight, the nightingale is bringing

Ríu, ríu, chíu

La guarda ribera

Ríu, ríu, chíu

La guarda ribera

Ríu, ríu, chíu

La guarda ribera

Ríu, ríu, chíu

La guarda ribera

Ríu ríu, chíu riba

Ríu chíu, chíu riba

Ríu, ríu, chíu

La guarda ribera

Ríu, ríu, chíu

La guarda ribera
