Olentzero is our Christmas favourite character. He delivers presents for us the night of the 24th and we open those presents 25th in the morning, if we are not very good during the year he brings pieces of coal, sometimes these pieces of coal are sweet and we love it!
Olentzero will come to our school the 23rd, we are looking forward to seeing him and singing his song! We have already wrote our letters and we will have some presents in all the classrooms.
We will sing for you "Olentzero's song" that day but before that we will show it to you.
You can try to sing with us!!

- Olentzero joan zaigu
- mendira lanera,
- intentzioarekin
- ikatz egitera.
- Aditu duenean
- Jesus jaio dela
- lasterka etorri da
- berri ematera.
- Horra horra
- gure Olentzero
- pipa hortzetan dula
- eserita dago.
- Kapoiak ere ba'itu
- arraultzatxoekin
- bihar meriendatzeko
- botila ardoakin.
- Olentzero buru handia
- entendimentuz jantzia
- bart arratsean edan omen du
- hamar arroako zahagia.
- Ai urde tripahandia!
- Tralaralala, tralaralala.
- Ai urde tripahandia!
- Tralaralala, tralaralala.
- Olentzero has gone
- to the mountains to work
- with the intention
- of making charcoal.
- When he heard
- that Jesus has been born
- he came running
- to bring news
- There is, there is
- our Olentzero
- with the pipe between his teeth
- he sits.
- He also has capons
- with little eggs,
- to celebrate tomorrow
- with a bottle of wine.
- Olentzero big head
- robed in understanding
- is said to have drunk last night
- a wineskin of ten arrobas
- Oh big-bellied pig!
- Tralaralala, tralaralala.
- Oh big-bellied pig!
- Tralaralala, tralaralala.
There are a lot of pictures of "Olentzero" but he has always the same characteristics. He is fat, he wears beard, he smokes a pipe and he is dressed with the typical basque costume, he lives in the mountains, he has got a donkey that helps him delivering presents.
