Navidad Lyrics in English José Luis Perales

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Navidad by José Luis Perales from Spanish to English.
As long as there's a happy child on earth
As long as there's a bonfire to share
As long as there are hands that work in peace
As long as a star shines, there'll be Christmas
Christmas, Christmas, in the snow and the sand
Christmas, Christmas, on land and sea
Christmas, Christmas, in the snow and the sand
Christmas, Christmas, on land and sea
As long as there are lips that speak of love
As long as there are hands that care for a flower
As long as there's a future to look toward
As long as there's tenderness, there'll be Christmas
Christmas, Christmas, in the snow and the sand
Christmas, Christmas, on land and sea
Christmas, Christmas, in the snow and the sand
Christmas, Christmas, on land and sea
As long as there's someone beaten, ready to forget
As long as there's someone fallen that we can lift up
As long as a war stops and a cannon falls asleep
As long as a wounded one heals, there'll be Christmas
Christmas, Christmas, in the snow and the sand
Christmas, Christmas, on land and sea
Christmas, Christmas, in the snow and the sand
Christmas, Christmas, on land and sea
Christmas, Christmas
Christmas, Christmas
Christmas, Christmas
Christmas, Christmas
Christmas, Christmas, in the snow and the sand
Christmas, Christmas, on land and sea
Christmas, Christmas, in the snow and the sand
Christmas, Christmas, on land and sea

SONG MEANING

“Navidad” by José Luis Perales is a warm reminder that Christmas is not just a calendar date but a feeling that lights up wherever kindness is found. The lyrics paint vivid snapshots: a child laughing, friends sharing a fire, hands working peacefully, a single star guiding the night sky. Perales repeats the refrain “Navidad… en la nieve y la arena, en la tierra y el mar,” showing that this festive spirit travels far beyond snowy postcard scenes, stretching from desert sands to ocean waves.

The song tells us that every act of love keeps Christmas alive. When someone forgives a past hurt, lifts up a fallen friend, ends a conflict, or tends a fragile flower, the holiday’s glow sparks again. In short, if there is joy to protect, hope to chase, or compassion to give, habrá Navidad—Christmas will always be here.
