Ou lelolay leloley,
ou lelolay lelolea
everybody is very happy
all together in the clan
bitter sing and merry times
drinking rum, whiskies and brandies
that makes it so very likely
inside party, outside petardos
singing those nice aguinaldos
everybody is very happy
I wish to [C7]you [A7dear fellow
a Mery Christmas a todo
a Mery Christmas a todo
and [Bm]a very happy new año.
Ay lelolai lelolele,
o lelolai lelolele, lelolai lolelo laila
Que si Christmas que si happy
que si Christmas que si happy
Que si pito [C7]que si flauta.
Ese idioma que tu hablas
suena como Boston [C7]Blackie
y hasta el perro llamas Blackie
si se quieren de este año.
todo suena tan estɾaño
y hasta le falta sabor
no hay aguinaldo mejor
que el jíbaro Borincano.

My language is nothing wrong
I want you [A7to [C7]understand
you [A7say that gringo I am
but also I like [F]palo e'ron.
I get louder with the fun
parrandas I like [F]to [C7]follow
going from Ponce to [C7]Cataño
I wish to [C7]you [A7dear fellow
a Mery Christmas a todo
a Mery Christmas a todo
a Mery Christmas a todo
and [Bm]a very happy new año.
