about

I wrote this song a few Christmases ago, feeling very poor. It's about how, with an empty wallet and no heat on Christmas eve, we can still gather and warm ourselves with a song about what we too often forget to celebrate: a child born in a barn, whose life was dedicated to teaching peace and love.

lyrics

Bossa Nova Navideña
© 2008 Alexandra Leigh-Taylor Weber Morales

En otros años regalos y risas sobraban
A nuestras fiestas de lujo amistades llegaban
Diamantes y joyas, collares y aretes
Niños enloquecidos con caros juguetes

Aunque todos los sueños ya desvanecieron
Y los indiferentes desaparecieron
Alabamos un niño nacido en pesebre
Que su vida de paz y amor se celebre

Es noche buena y mi cartera está vacía
Las notas serán perlas en esta melodía
Mi chimenea no tiene leña
Solo hay el calor de mi bossa nova navideña

La caridad vale más que la vida ostentosa
Hay amor en familia y es muy hermosa
La escasez no nos mata, sólo enflaquece
La honradez en la lucha a lo largo enriquece

Es noche buena y mi cartera está vacía
Las notas serán perlas en esta melodía
Mi chimenea no tiene leña
Solo hay el calor de mi bossa nova navideña
