Jingle Bells in Spanish

Fairly recently I learned the words to Jingle Bells in Spanish, or Cascabel.

I had previously learned and been exposed to many other Christmas songs in Spanish, but for some reason had never learned Jingle Bells in Spanish. However, soon that was taken care of and I started reflecting on the power that Christmas songs have had on my life.

One of the great things about Christmas songs is that they evoke similar feelings in whatever language they are sung. Christmas songs in Spanish hold a special place in my heart because they remind me of those times I spent in Latin America during Christmas and they alone were able to remind me of home and help me feel the joy of Christmas.

One of the most often sung Christmas songs has to be Jingle Bells. Growing up, my brothers and I would sing this song a lot during Christmas (although most of the time it was to lyrics that our mom wouldn't quite approve of), Like I mentioned earlier, however, it wasn't until fairly recently that I learned the words to Jingle Bells in Spanish, or Cascabel.

There are a couple of variations on the lyrics in Cascabel, but I only learned one way to sing it and I have posted that version below.

I hope you enjoy it and that it brings you happiness all year round.

Cascabel, cascabel,
Música de amor.
Dulces horas, gratas horas,
Juventud en flor.

Cascabel, cascabel,
Tan sentimental.
No ceces, oh cascabel,
De repiquetear.
