Salve Reina Y Madre
Los Niños Cantores De Navidad Lyrics

The song "Salve Reina Y Madre" sung by Los Niños Cantores De Navidad is a hymn addressed to Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ. The term "Salve" is derived from the Latin word "Salvare", which means to save or hail. The beginning of the song includes the term "Salve" twice followed by a repetition of "reina y madre" which means "queen and mother". It is a way of addressing Mary as a figure of power and reverence. The song further elaborates that Mary is the sweetest love and the most beautiful flower from the garden of heaven. As a flower represents beauty, purity, and gentleness, it is an appropriate symbol for Mary, who stands for all these virtues.

The lyrics then take us to a mystical place, a hilltop covered in snow. Here we see the Virgin Mary resting during the cold night. This imagery hints at the night of the birth of Jesus, the miraculous event of divine conception, and birth of the Son of God. The song then shifts focus to the baby Jesus, who is lying in the manger. We see the malicious mule with its sharp teeth eating the straw on which the newborn child is laid. This act of destruction is contrasted with the purity and innocence of the baby. The song ends with a repetition of the opening lines, emphasizing the power and divinity of the Virgin Mary.
