Novena de Aguinaldos (Advent Novena)

The Novena is a devotion, consisting of a prayer said over nine successive days from December 16th to December 24th. La Novena de Aguinaldos is a preparation or advent prayer for Christmas. The novena is a friends and family affair, it’s a chance to get together to enjoy La Navidad (Christmas) around the nativity (or Pesebre in Spanish).
During and after this Christmas prayer, people are very enthusiastic in the participation of carol singing, accompanied by guitars, tambourines and maracas. In Colombia it is common for children to make there own musical instruments, normally a rattle of some kind, made by flattened bottle caps, nailed together to a piece of a old wooden broom or mop stick. This can make a Novena de Aguinaldos unforgettable , especially for the young who particularly enjoy making and playing them.
Lyrics:

Ven! ven, ven... ven a nuestras almas, (Come, come, come... come to our souls,)

Jesús ven, ven, ven, (Jesus, come, come,)

Ven a nuestras almas, (Come to our souls,)

Jesús ven, ven a nuestras almas, (Jesus come, come to our souls,)

No tardes tanto, no tardes tanto, (Don't be so long (don't be late),)

Jesús ven, ven! Ven, ven! (Jesus, come, come! Come, come!)
