With my little savannah donkey1
I'm on my way to Bethlehem
With my little savannah donkey
I'm on my way to Bethlehem
If they see me, if they see me, I'm on my way to Bethlehem
If they see me, if they see me, I'm on my way to Bethlehem
The morning light illuminates my path
The morning light illuminates my path
If they see me, if they see me, I'm on my way to Bethlehem
If they see me, if they see me, I'm on my way to Bethlehem
Duki duki duki duki, duki duki duki da
Hurry up my little donkey, let's get there already
Duki duki duki duki, duki duki duki da
Hurry up my little donkey, let's go see Jesus
With my cuatrico2 I go singing
My little donkey goes trotting
With my cuatrico I go singing
My little donkey goes trotting
If they see me, if they see me, I'm on my way to Bethlehem
If they see me, if they see me, I'm on my way to Bethlehem
With my little savannah donkey
I'm on my way to Bethlehem
With my little savannah donkey
I'm on my way to Bethlehem
If they see me, if they see me, I'm on my way to Bethlehem
If they see me, if they see me, I'm on my way to Bethlehem
Duki duki duki duki, duki duki duki da
Hurry up my little donkey, let's get there already
Duki duki duki duki, duki duki duki da
Hurry up my little donkey, let's go see Jesus
With my little savannah donkey
I'm on my way to Bethlehem
With my little savannah donkey
I'm on my way to Bethlehem
If they see me, if they see me, I'm on my way to Bethlehem
If they see me, if they see me, I'm on my way to Bethlehem
If they see me, if they see me, I'm on my way to Bethlehem
If they see me, if they see me, I'm on my way to Bethlehem
If they see me, if they see me, I'm on my way to Bethlehem
If they see me, if they see me, I'm on my way to Bethlehem
If they see me, if they see me, I'm on my way to Bethlehem
- 1. The word burrito means "little donkey" in Spanish, being the diminutive form of burro, or "donkey". The name burrito, as applied to the food, possibly derives from the tendency for burritos to contain a lot of different things, similar to how a donkey would be able to carry a lot.
- 2. The term "cuatrico" is a diminutive of the word "cuatro", which is a small guitar with four strings.
