Nightingales Sound

Next to "O Holy Night" and "Carol of the Bells" my fave Christmas Carol sung in perfect harmony by the Monkees.

Riu Riu Chiu



Happy Holidays to all and to all a good night.


Transaltion
Riu, riu, chiu (nightingale's sounds)
The river bank protects it,
As God kept the wolf from our lamb


The rabid wolf tried to bite her
But God Almighty knew how to defend her
He wished to create her impervious to sin
Nor was this maid to embody original sin

Riu, riu, chiu (nightingale's sounds)
The river bank protects it,
As God kept the wolf from our lamb


He comes to give life to the dead
He comes to redeem the fall of man
This child is the light of day
He is the very lamb Saint John prophecied


Riu, riu, chiu (nightingale's sounds)
The river bank protects it,
As God kept the wolf from our lamb


A thousand singing herons
I saw passing,
Flying overhead, sounding
A thousand voices
Exhulting, "Glory be in the
heavens, and peace on earth,
for Jesus has been born."
