Carol, Puerto Rico.
“En el Portal a Belén” is a carol that describes the Bethlehem manger and encourages pastors to adore the newborn. The representation of the Christmas cribs is a tradition in many families and, usually, they allocate a special place at home to set up the Nativity Scene.
The tradition of the Nativity Scene installation goes back to the 13th century, when a Christmas Eve Saint Francis of Assisi gathered the neighbors of an Italian city in a hermitage to celebrate the midnight mass.

Lyrics
1. Ha nacido en un portal
Llenito de telarañas,
Entre la mula y el buey,
El Redentor de las almas.
Este es un lerum, lamaruxina,
Este es un lerum en el portal;
Vaya prosigo este cantar,
Vaya prosigo este cantar.
Lerum, lerum, lerum, la!
(¡Que viva!)
2. En el portal de Belén
Hay estrella, sol y luna:
La Virgen y San José
Y el Niño que esta en la cuna
Este es un lerum, lamaruxina,
Este es un lerum en el portal;
Vaya prosigo este cantar,
Vaya prosigo este cantar.
Lerum, lerum, lerum, la!
3. Entro al portal un gallego
Que vengo desde Galicia
Y le traigo al Niño Diós
Lienzo para una camisa
Este es un lerum, lamaruxina,
Este es un lerum en el portal;
Vaya prosigo este cantar,
Vaya prosigo este cantar.
Lerum, lerum, lerum, la!
4. Entro un gitano al portal
De Granada vengo a aqui
Y le traigo al Niño Diós
Un gallo quiquiriqui.
Este es un lerum, lamaruxina,
Este es un lerum en el portal;
Vaya prosigo este cantar,
Vaya prosigo este cantar.
Lerum, lerum, lerum, la!
