LYRICS / TRANSLATION / PRONUNCIATION
En mi burrito sabanero voy camino de Belén,
Si me ven, si me ven, voy camino de Belén
Tuqui tuqui tuqui tuqui,
Tuqui tuqui tuqui tá
Apúrate mi burrito,
Que ya vamos a llegar
Tuqui tuqui tuqui tuqui,
Tuqui tuqui tuqui tú
Apúrate mi burrito,
Vamos a ver a Jesús
Con mi cuatrico voy cantando, mi burrito va trotando
Si me ven, si me ven, voy camino de Belén
Translation:
I am riding to Bethlehem on my donkey.
If you see, you'll know I am heading to Bethlehem.
Hurry up, by little donkey, we're almost there!
Hurry up, my little donkey, we'll go see Jesus!
As I trot along on my donkey, I play songs with my little cuatro
(Note: the cuatro is an instrument, see instrument sampler
under the main music page.)
