Villancico has gained some modern notoriety as a Christmas carol.
Attributed by some sources to Mateo Flech, in others described as anonymous. The song bears a strong resemblance to the villancico `Falalanlera` written by the Aragonese Bartomeu Carceres. The apparently nonsensical syllables `ríu ríu chíu` are often interpreted as representing the nightingale`s song. The main theme of the song is the Nativity of Christ and the Immaculate Conception. The refrain that gives Villancico its name is: Ríu, ríu, chíu, la guarda ribera, Dios guardó el lobo de nuestra cordera. `Ríu, ríu, chíu, the kingfisher, God kept the wolf from our Lamb.` https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ríu_Ríu_Chíu Õ Close Show records by: listenings count | performer's rating | alphabetical |
