Fum, Fum, Fum

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fum, Fum, Fum (pronounced foom, foom, foom) is a traditional Catalan Christmas carol.

It is thought to have originated in the 16th or 17th Century. The name, however, is not a Catalan word or phrase and is considered to be an onomatopoeia of the sound of the strumming of a stringed musical instrument.

Veinticinco de Diciembre

Fum Fum Fum

Veinticinco de Diciembre

Fum Fum Fum

Un niñito muy bonito ha nacido en un portal

Con su carita de rosa

Parece una flor hermosa

Fum Fum Fum

Venid Venid Pastorcillos

Fum Fum Fum

Venid Venid Pastorcillos

Fum Fum Fum

Venid con las panderetas castañuelas al portal

Adorad al rey del cielo

Que ha nacido en el suelo

Fum Fum Fum

[edit] English Version

A version done in the style of an English madrigal was recorded by Mannheim Steamroller as part of their Christmas Extraordinaire album:

On this joyful Christmas day sing

Fum Fum Fum

On this joyful Christmas day sing

Fum Fum Fum

For a blessed babe 'twas born upon this day at break of morn

In a manger poor and lowly

Lay the son of God most holy

Fum Fum Fum
