i need your help how i say carol chritmas in diference language?

Villancico means (approximately) 'a poem (or song) about country life'. It seems to have quite a strict and regular format, according to Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Villancico In Early English, the word 'carol' meant a dance - usually a circle dance where people held hands in a circle rather than dancing in couples or in a line - so 'carols' (as we understand them in England) are songs which accompanied dances rather than the kind of rather more solemn song one sang in church. Today, almost every 'Christmas' song that people sing together is called a 'Carol' (though many, like 'O Come All You Faithful/Adeste Fideles' are really hymns). I think that the word 'carol' can be interpreted differently in many languages. In European countries certainly, there's a distinction between 'church' songs and 'country' songs (or 'songs of the people') which have a religious significance. In England (where English has been used exclusively in churches for a long time) we sing many songs in church which would have been frowned upon in Catholic or Lutheran societies. We have a carol, for example, called 'The Holly and the Ivy' which has a very clear pagan origin but whose words have been modified to include Christian symbolism, which is used as a very popular 'hymn' at Christmas services. I think that the best definition of a 'carol' or 'villancio' that I can make (at least, as it is understood in English) is that it should be a 'folk song' or a song in the traditional style of the common people but one that deals specifically with the birth of Jesus or is appropriate to the Midwinter Festival. Many Spanish-speaking countries, of course, don't have the concept of a Midwinter Festival, so have imported Christmas songs from the Catholic traditions of Spain.

Hi Croquetilla. In portuguese is "canções natalinas". And I want to utilize this discussion to wish you Merry Christmas for you and all you family too. Have a nice day.
