Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Los Reyes Magos by Cantoalegre from Spanish to English.

When the kings in Galilee

followed the star of Bethlehem

They saw the child sleep in a manger

Between the ox and the mule

Mary and Joseph

When the kings saw the child

In a stable close to Bethlehem

The truest tradition was confirmed

that dresses us for celebration

at every Christmas

God of heaven that you made the morning

and that every day the sun rises!

God of heaven show us the way

and fill it with love!

When the kings in Galilee

followed the star of Bethlehem

They saw the child sleep in a manger

Between the ox and the mule

Mary and Joseph

Now the bells ring for the celebration

Because in Bethlehem the God Child was born

And in their ding dong

And the world wakes up

And every heart sings this song to him

God of heaven that you made the morning

And that every day the sun rises

God of heaven show us the way

and fill it with love!

When the kings in Galilee

followed the star of Bethlehem

They saw the child sleep in a manger

Between the ox and the mule

Mary and Joseph

When the kings saw the child

In a stable close to Bethlehem

The truest tradition was confirmed

that dresses us for celebration at every Christmas

SONG MEANING

Los Reyes Magos invites us on a sparkling journey with the Three Wise Men as they follow the guiding star to Bethlehem. The lyrics paint a warm picture of the first Christmas morning: baby Jesus resting in a humble manger, Mary and Joseph watching over him, and gentle animals sharing the scene. As the kings arrive, the moment confirms a beloved tradition that still “dresses us in celebration” every year. Their visit becomes a joyful reminder to keep wonder alive, let our hearts ring like festive bells, and look for the light that leads us toward love.

The song also turns into a prayerful chorus—“¡Dios del cielo… muéstranos el camino y llénalo de amor!”—asking God, the maker of every sunrise, to guide us daily. With its mix of tender imagery and lively calls to rejoice, Los Reyes Magos captures the magic of Epiphany, the warmth of shared faith, and the timeless invitation to wake up the world with kindness each Christmas season.
