Three Spanish Christmas carols of the 16th century .-
Ríu, ríu, chíu
( Ríu, ríu, chíu, la guarda riberra ; El lobo rabioso la quiso morder ; Este qu'es nascido es el gran monarca ; Muchas profecias lo han profetizado ; Yo vil mil garçones que andavan cantando ; Este viene a dar a los muertos vida ; Mirá bien que os cuadre que ansina lo oyera ; Pues que ya tenemos lo que desseamos )
