Haku Pastor P’rilylla Puriy Pastorllay

Peruvian folk melody from the District of Ayacucho

Original Text

English Translation

 

Haku pastor puriylla puriy pastorllay
Belenpa puertallanpi pastorllay.
Hina belenpa puertanpi pastorllay
niño Jesusllay suyawanchik pastorllay.
Pitaq niñucha hayachimusunki
challay qepachampi waqanallaykipaq.
Ima sumac mi niño Jesús
intita killata pinqarichin.

Come, little shepherds, let’s walk together
to the stable in Bethlehem
where our little Shepherd lies.
Yes, he lies in a stable in Bethlehem;
our infant Jesus is waiting for us there.
Little child, who is making you cry?
How lovely the baby Jesus is!
His beauty puts the sun and moon to shame!

 

Chayta alabado sea sea santísimo sacramento.
alabado sea sea santísimo sacramento,
Ya desde entonces dirán:
sin tí corazón yo regina.
Chayta nispan chayamuñi
santo templo wasiykita.
Kimsa kutim adorayki
llapay urkuy kumuy kuspay.

Praised be this most blessed Sacrament;
Praised, and praised again be this most blessed Sacrament.
Ever henceforward shall they say
without you, o heart... (text defective)
Saying this, I have come
to your house, your holy temple. (ij)
Thrice over do I adore you,
coming across all the mountains. (iij)


This piece was performed by the SFBC in A Candlelight Christmas from Spain and the New World on December 16, 2000.
