Alex Campos - Es Navidad Lyrics
Lyrics
La noche buena ha llegado
Mi canción he preparado
La esperanza del mundo renace hoy
Baila conmigo, sigue este ritmo eterno... hoy
Es navidad
Voy a adorar
Cambia la tristeza en baile
Su amor se hace grande
Es que no puedo callarme
Celebraré sin cansarme
El cielo vivo en la tierra
Tu libertad me condena
Viviré para alabarte
Gloria a Dios en la tierra
Es navidad
Voy a adorar
El mundo sonríe al cielo
Pues llegó la navidad
Deja que Jesus hoy nazca en tu corazón
Es navidad
Voy a adorar
Noche de paz
Ven a bailar
Tu amor, mi amor
Juntos los dos
El mundo unido cantando al cielo
Tu voz mi voz
Una canción
Jesus vive, gloria al eterno redentor

ES NAVIDAD - Alex Campos (Video Oficial) | Nueva Música de Diciembre / Navideña 2021
Meaning & Inspiration
The song "Es Navidad" by Alex Campos, released as an official video on December 3, 2020, offers a vibrant and joyful take on the Christmas season, positioned as new music for December and the 2021 holiday period. This track serves as a musical invitation to embrace the spirit of celebration and reverence associated with the birth of Jesus Christ. The visual presentation complements the auditory experience, creating an immersive atmosphere fitting for the festive theme.
Analyzing the lyrics reveals a core message centered on hope, worship, and transformative joy. The opening lines declare the arrival of Christmas Eve and the preparedness of a song to mark the occasion, emphasizing the rebirth of hope for the world. This sets the stage for the central declaration, "Es navidad / Voy a adorar" (It's Christmas / I am going to worship), which functions as the song's fundamental refrain and purpose. The lyrics convey an irrepressible urge to celebrate, stating that sadness is replaced by dance and God's love is magnified, making it impossible to stay silent.
The song connects the earthly celebration with a divine reality, mentioning "El cielo vivo en la tierra" (Heaven alive on earth) and the classic angelic proclamation, "Gloria a Dios en la tierra" (Glory to God on earth). Freedom is presented as a motivation to live for praise. A key theme is the global joy and the personal invitation for Jesus to be born in the listener's heart, symbolizing a spiritual embrace of the Christmas message. The song weaves in the idea of "Noche de paz" (Silent Night), adding a layer of traditional warmth to the contemporary rhythm and invitation to "Ven a bailar" (Come dance). The lyrics conclude with a powerful image of unity – "Tu amor, mi amor / Juntos los dos / El mundo unido cantando al cielo" (Your love, my love / Together the two / The world united singing to heaven) – culminating in the affirmation "Jesus vive, gloria al eterno redentor" (Jesus lives, glory to the eternal redeemer), extending the significance of Christmas beyond just the birth to His enduring presence and redemptive role.
This song draws upon several biblical themes central to the Christmas narrative and Christian faith. The message of hope's rebirth and Jesus' birth bringing salvation echoes passages like Luke 2:10-11, announcing good news of great joy and the birth of a Savior. The theme of replacing sadness with joy and dance reflects sentiments found in scriptures such as Psalm 30:11, where mourning is turned into dancing. The declaration "Gloria a Dios en la tierra" directly references the angelic chorus in Luke 2:14. The invitation for Jesus to be born in the heart aligns with the concept of welcoming Christ into one's life, often related to verses like Revelation 3:20. Furthermore, the final line, "Jesus vive, gloria al eterno redentor," speaks to the ongoing reality of Christ's life and His role as redeemer, a concept found throughout the New Testament, for example, in Ephesians 1:7. The song serves as an inspiration to listeners to not only remember the historical event of Christmas but to actively participate in its spiritual meaning through worship, joy, and unity.
