Los Peces En El Rio Lyrics in English Pandora

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Los Peces En El Rio by Pandora from Spanish to English.
But look how the fish drink in the river
But look how they drink to see that God is born
They drink and drink and drink again
The fish in the river to see that God is born
The Virgin is combing
Between curtain and curtain
Her hair is of gold
And the comb of fine silver
But look how the fish drink in the river
But look how they drink to see that God is born
They drink and drink and drink again
The fish in the river to see that God is born
The Virgin washes diapers
And hangs them on the rosemary
The birdies singing
And the rosemary blooming
But look how the fish drink in the river
But look how they drink to see that God is born
They drink and drink and drink again
The fish in the river to see that God is born
The Virgin is washing herself
With a bit of soap
Her hands got pricked
Hands of my heart
But look how the fish drink in the river
But look how they drink to see that God is born
They drink and drink and drink again
The fish in the river to see that God is born
But look how the fish drink in the river
But look how they drink to see that God is born
They drink and drink and drink again
The fish in the river to see that God is born
They drink and drink and drink again
The fish in the river to see that God is born

SONG MEANING

“Los Peces en el Río” is a lively Spanish Christmas carol that paints a charming, almost magical picture of nature celebrating the birth of Jesus. The chorus marvels at fish in the river that keep drinking again and again, as if they cannot get enough of the joyful news. This playful image turns the entire river into a living, shimmering audience excited to “see God born,” reminding listeners that every corner of creation joins in the holiday cheer.

Between these catchy refrains, the verses zoom in on Mary’s everyday tasks: brushing her golden hair, washing baby clothes, and tending to her own hands. By pairing these simple domestic moments with the exuberant reactions of birds, herbs, and fish, the song mixes the ordinary with the miraculous. It celebrates how something as humble as laundering diapers can coexist with cosmic wonder—inviting us to find awe in small details while we sing, clap, and maybe even imagine fish sipping water in delight.
