1. Carol Of The Birds Traditional Catalonian Carol (El Cant dels Ocells).

2. When rose the eastern star The birds came from afar In that full might of a glory.

3. With one melodious voice They sweetly did rejoice And sang the wondrous story.

4. Sang, praising God on high Enthroned above the sky And his fair mother Mary.

5. The eagle left his lair Came winging through the air His message loud arising.

6. Oh, how they pound Raising the sound O'er hill and dale Telling their tale.

7. Gaily they ring While people sing Songs of good cheer Christmas is here.

8. And to his joyous cry The sparrow made reply His answer sweetly voicing.

9. Overcome are death and strife This night is born new life The robin sang rejoicing. When rose the eastern star The birds came from afar.
