I'm going with my little donkey on the road to Bethlehem
Among palms and sticks, tambourines and almirez
I'm going with my little donkey, filled with joy
To see the baby Jesus and to gaze at Mary
I have a little star with eyes of black
Which I love more than my own heart
And a crazy comet which is wacky
And that one I don't love, no, no
Because stars are so funny
Dancing in the heavens, delightful
And if I see a comet, I'll die, I'll die
I am going with my little donkey with pestiños and alfajor
And half way there, his pannier fell off of him
Poor little donkey slipped and fell
And the sweets he was carrying, he ate up in one breath
I have a little donkey with white legs
Whom I love more than my Uncle José
And a lame female donkey with a bad leg
And I can't even look at her
Because the little donkey is so funny
And even though he has a sweet tooth, I love him
And the fact that my little donkey overdoes it, delightful
I'm going with my little donkey, loaded with chocolate
I've got my chocolatier, my grinder and my camp stove
I am going with my little donkey, loaded with fresh eggs
And half way there
A Galician stole it from me.
I have a dark little guy with eyes of black
That I love more than my own heart
And I have a rude little one which is very tasty
And that one I don't love, no, no
Because the dark ones are very funny
And that's how he dispensed with them, dark girl
And get out of the sun, girl, because you're getting dark, ah
