Lyrics for adeste fideles in spanish

Come!

View page

"adeste": comes from "adsum, adesse, adfui, adfuturus" (to be present);

The imperative of "adsum" is "ades" (2nd person singular) and "adeste" (2nd person plural).

So it means "Be present", or "Come!", as in "Come, all ye Faithful," in the carol, "Adeste, fideles!"

The phrase is Adeste fideles, and it's in Latin. Adeste is the plural imperative of the verb adesse, meaning "to be present" or "to come near"; fideles is the vocative plural of the adjective fidelis, meaning "faithful". Together they form a sentence meaning "Come near, faithful ones".

It is not clear when the hymn tune "Adeste Fidles" was written. The thought it is that it may have been written in the 13th century by John Francis Wade.
