The Donkey of the Savanna

With my little donkey of the savanna,
I'm going to Bethlehem,
With my little donkey of the savanna,
I'm going to Bethlehem.
 
If they see me, if they see me,
I'm going to Bethlehem,
If they see me, if they see me,
I'm going to Bethlehem.
 
With my little cuatro I go singing,
And my little donkey goes trotting,
With my cautro I go singing,
And my donkey goes trotting.
 
If they see me, if they see me,
I'm going to Bethlehem,
If they see me, if they see me,
I'm going to Bethlehem.
 
The little morning star,
Illuminates my path,
The morning star,
Illuminates my path.
 
If they see me, if they see me,
I'm going to Bethlehem,
If they see me, if they see me,
I'm going to Bethlehem.
 
Tuqui Tuqui Tuquituqui,
Tuquituqui Tu qui Ta,
Hurry up my litttle donkey,
That now we are going to arrive.
 
Tuqui Tuqui Tuquituqui,
Tuquituqui Tu qui Ta,
Hurry up my donkey,
Let's go see Jesus

Thank you. How did you know how to translate cuatrico?

A long time ago I saw a Mexican/Venezuelan movie and I remembered someone playing that instrument. I can't even remember the movie. Best regards, K

cuatrico is a 'cuatro' is an instrument: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuatro_(instrument)

the -ico at the end is a diminutive, translating as 'little cuatro'.
The same goes for "burrito" which translates to 'little donkey'.

voy camino > means "I'm on my way", you're heading somewhere. If it were "I'm going to..." it would be "Me voy a..." or "Voy para...".

Typo on the third verse, first line: "I they see me" > "If...."
and all throughout the translation.

Once again, "lucerito" the -ito is the diminutive, translating as 'little morning star'.

That now we are going to arrive. > we're almost there.
Let's go see Jesus > we're going to see Jesus.
