Campana sobre campana
Y sobre campana una
Asómate a la ventana
Verás el Niño en la cuna

Belén, campanas de Belén
Que los ángeles tocan
¿Qué nueva nos traéis?

Recogido tu rebaño
¿A dónde vas pastorcillo?
Voy a llevar al portal
Requesón, manteca y vino

Belén, campanas de Belén
Que los ángeles tocan
¿Qué nueva nos traéis?

Campana sobre campana
Y sobre campana dos
Asómate a esa ventana
Verás al Niño que es Dios

Belén, campanas de Belén
Que los ángeles tocan
¿Qué nueva nos traéis?

Campana sobre campana
Y sobre campana tres
Asómate a la ventana
Verás al Niño nacer

Belén, campanas de Belén
Que los ángeles tocan
¿Qué nueva nos traéis?

Recogido tu rebaño
¿A dónde vas pastorcillo?
Voy a llevar al portal
Requesón, manteca y vino

Belén, campanas de Belén
Que los ángeles tocan
¿Qué nueva nos traéis?

Belén, campanas de Belén




Que los ángeles tocan
¿Qué nueva nos traéis?
