Translation

The Little Donkey from Bethlehem

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

The morning light illuminates my path

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

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

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

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.
