Pilgrims
In the name of heaven
We ask for inn,
Well, you can't walk
My beloved wife.
Hosts
Here is not inn
Keep going
I must not open
Don't be any tunante.
Pilgrims
Don't be inhuman
Have charity,
The God of Heaven
He will reward you.
Hosts
They can go
And not bother
Because if I get angry
I'm going to pile up.
Pilgrims
We have been rendered
From Nazareth
I am a carpenter
named José.
Hosts
I don't care about the name,
Let me sleep,
Well, I tell them
that we are not to open.
Pilgrims
Posada asks you
Homemade loved one,
for just one night
The Queen of Heaven.
Hosts
Well, he is a queen
who requests it
How at night
Do you go so alone?
Pilgrims
My wife is Maria
is queen of heaven,
And mother will be
of the divine verb.
Hosts
Are you José?
Is your wife Maria?
Enter, pilgrims,
I didn't know them.
Pilgrims
God pay gentlemen
Your charity,
and that the sky collates
of happiness.
Hosts
Happy the house
that houses this day
To the pure virgin,
The beautiful Mary!
When they open the door everyone sung
Santos Peregrinos, pilgrims enter,
Receive this corner
that although the abode is poor, the abode,
I give it to you from the heart.

What is the origin of the inns?
The inns date from the colonial eraarose to replace the Aztec festivities of the Panquetzaliztli that celebrated the advent of Huitzilopochtli god of war, which were carried out from December 16 to 26.
The evangelizing friars transformed the pagan festivities and aligned them to the Catholic traditionschanging the image of Huitzilopochtli for Maria and José. Subsequently, the Augustinian friar Diego Soria obtained from Pope Sixto V Indulgences for the realization of the nine bonus masses in the days before Christmas.
