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
