the Monkeys sing Riu Chiu...
They played an old Monkeys episode on the TV this morning, with this song at the end...now I thought I had seen every Monkeys episode about a hundred times, but I didn't remember this one...the song Riu Chiu is in the Christian genre, but they harmonize like magic!
Riu riu chiu, la guarda ribera;
Dios guardo el lobo de nuestra cordera,
Dios guardo el lobo de neustra cordera.
El lobo rabioso la quiso morder,
Mas Dios poderoso la supo defender;
Quisola hazer que no pudiese pecar,
Ni aun original esta Virgen no tuviera.
Riu, riu chiu...
Este qu'es nacido es el gran monarca,
Christo patriarca de carne vestido;
Hemos redemido con se hazer chiquito,
Aunqu'era infinito, finito se hiziera.
Riu, riu chiu...
Translated:
River, roaring river, guard our homes in safety,
God has kept the black wolf from our lamb, our Lady.
God has kept the black wolf from our lamb, our Lady.
Raging mad to bite her, there the wolf did steal,
But our God Almighty defended her with zeal.
Pure He wished to keep Her so She could never sin,
That first sin of man never touched the Virgin sainted.
River, roaring river...
He who's now begotten is our mighty Monarch,
Christ, our Holy Father, in human flesh embodied.
He has brough atonement by being born so humble,
Though He is immortal, as mortal was created.
River, roaring river...

The Monkeys was my favorite show when I was growing up, I really really loved the Monkeys, so when Mikey Dolenz strolled into my flower shop several years ago, I nearly fell over. He is a regular customer now, as he lives very near the shop. I got to see him play at our local park a couple years ago... they puts on free concerts every Summer.
Many blessings on this Christmas day,
