Ang Pasko ay Sumapit Lyrics
Ang Pasko ay sumapit
Tayo ay mangagsi-awit
Ng magagandang himig
Dahil sa Diyos ay pag-ibig.
Nang si Kristo’y isilang
May tatlong haring nagsidalaw
At ang bawa’t isa ay nagsipaghandog
Ng tanging alay.
Bagong Taon ay magbagong-buhay
Nang lumigaya ang ating bayan
Tayo’y magsikap upang makamtan
Natin ang kasaganahan.
Tayo’y mangagsi-awit
Habang ang mundo’y tahimik
Ang araw ay sumapit
Ng sanggol na dulot ng langit
Tayo ay magmahalan
Ating sundin ang gintong aral
At magbuhat ngayon
Kahit hindi Pasko ay magbigayan!

Peras, kastanyas na marami
Coda:
Sa araw ng Pasko
Huwag nang malulumbay
Ipagdiwang ang araw
Habang nabubuhay
Sa Paskong darating
Santa Klaus nyo’y ako rin

May kendi at tsokolate

At sumilang doon ang sanggol na mahal
Mananakop ng buong katauhan
Magsaya tayo kapatirang banal
Ipagdiwang lugod sa puso
Si Hesus natin syang tanging maykapal
Lumuhod tayo sa harap niya
Magsimba tayo siyam na simbanggabi
Uwian ay bukang-liwayway
Ang buong bayan ligid-ligiran
Mga tindahan, kakainan
[lalala]
Masdan natin ang sinag ng tala
Sa tapat ng belen
Bayan ng ating Birheng dangal
At sumilang doon ang sanggol na mahal
Mananakop ng buong katauhan
Ang durungawan puspos ng ilaw
Luntian at pulang kulay na masaya
At ang pintuan pinagsabitan
Parol na tunay sa paskuhan
Ang maganda nating bihisan
Ay isuot kahit na minsan
At ang gintong hikaw at singsing
Ay linisin bago gamitin
[papapapam]
Masdan natin ang sinag ng tala
Sa tapat ng belen
Bayan ng ating Birheng dangal
At sumilang doon ang sanggol na mahal
Mananakop ng buong katauhan
Mano po lolo, mano po ninong
Ang sadya po sana’y mamasko
Kung wala ma’y salamat din po
Sa tatlong-hari na’ng balik ko
[lalalala lalalala]
Buong tao’y muling nagdaan
At sa bawat ninyong tahanan
Diwa ng pasko nawa’y makamtan
At sa bawat ninyong tahanan
Diwa ng pasko nawa’y makamtan!
[lalalala lalalala]
