[repeats] Anaysis of This SongFeliz Navidad is one of the most universally recognized Christmas songs of the modern era, blending joyful simplicity with Latin flair. Written and originally recorded in 1970 by Puerto Rican singer-songwriter José Feliciano, the song features both Spanish and English lyrics, making it a celebration that crosses cultural and linguistic borders with ease. With just a few repeated lines - “Feliz Navidad, próspero año y felicidad” and “I wanna wish you a Merry Christmas from the bottom of my heart” - the song radiates warmth, sincerity, and good cheer. Its uncomplicated structure and catchy melody make it easy for people of all ages and backgrounds to sing along, which is a big part of its enduring appeal. Feliciano wrote the song while feeling homesick for Puerto Rico during a chilly New York winter. Rather than crafting a traditional Christmas ballad, he wanted something upbeat and unifying; a song that reflected his heritage and invited everyone to join in. It quickly became a hit in the U.S. and around the world, and has since been covered by countless artists and featured in movies, commercials, and holiday playlists. Feliz Navidad is a celebration of connection, diversity, and the joy of wishing others well in any language. Performance Video |
