5th Grade Home - "Riu Riu Chiu"

Mr. Galvez's class -- we will be spending a great deal of time on the John Lennon song, but let's not forget about our other excellent holiday tune -- one of the greatest hits of the 16th century ;). Note that we will only be singing the verses listed here and on your lyric sheet.

Ríu ríu chíu

la guarda riberra

     

Dios guardo el lobo

El lobo de nuestra conderra

              (Dios guardo

El lobo de nuestra conderra)

Dios guardo el lobo

El lobo de nuestra conderra

              (Dios guardo

El lobo de nuestra conderra)

1. Now is come the time 

to sing with joy and praise.

Singing of the birth

We’ve known throughout our age.

May we come together

With hope and peace and love? 

Sharing with each other

The symbol of a dove.

2. As we find this season

Clear with warmth within us.

Maybe we will see 

The meaning of forgiveness.

See in one another

Growing day by day.

Toward a closer loving

Time we all should pray.

3. Now with celebration

We gather far and near.

Seeking new relation

With those we hold most dear.

As we come together

We hope for bright days long.

So we join together

And we sing this song.
