El niño del tambor [English translation]

The path that leads to Bethlehem

goes down to the snow-covered valley

the little shepherds want to see their King

they bring Him presents in their humble pouch,

ro pom pom pom, ro pom pom.

God Child is born in a stable in Bethlehem.

I'd like to put at Your feet

some gift you like, Lord

but You know I'm poor too

and I don't own nothing but an old drum

ro pom pom pom, ro pom pom.

In Your honour in front of the stable I will play

my drum!

The path that leads me to Bethlehem

I'm walking with my old drum

there's nothing better that I can offer You

its hoarse accent is a love chant

ro pom pom pom, ro pom pom.

When God saw me playing in front of Him

He smiled at me.
