El Burrito

The Little Donkey

El Burrito

I have an authentic and legitimate little donkeyTengo un burrito auténtico y legítimo
That at night jumps out of the corralQue por las noches se me brinca del corral
People around call him the atomic onePor ahí la gente le dice ya el atómico
There's no doubt he has no rivalNo cabe duda que no tiene rival

My little donkey really likes singingA mi burrito le gusta mucho el cántico
When I sing his song in the mountainsCuando le canto por el serró su canción
He's as fast as lightning on the roadSi en el camino corriendo es un relámpago
But a mosquito bite makes him runCuando un mosquito le pica sin razón

Run, tricky little donkey, come onCórrele burrito marrullero, caray
We're almost there, can't you see?Mira que ya vamos a llegar, ¿no lo ves?
When we reach the pastureCuando lleguemos al potrero verás
I'll give you a vacationUnas vacaciones te daré

Come on, my little donkey, don't lag behind, run, run, run!¡Ándele mi burrito, no se me quede, córrale, córrale, córrale!

He eats up the kilometers going downhillDe bajadita se come los kilómetros
He doesn't like walking uphillDe subidita no le gusta caminar
He gets melancholic when scoldedSi lo regaño se pone melancólico
But he brays when I pet himSi lo acaricio se pone a rebuznar

My little donkey really likes singingA mi burrito le gusta mucho el cántico

He's as fast as lightning on the roadSi en el camino corriendo es un relámpago
But a mosquito bite makes him runCuando un mosquito le pica sin razón

When he drinks his guanabana pulqueCuando se toma su pulque de guanábana
He tells me, 'Look, don't be stubborn, Sebastián'Me dice, "mira, no seas mula, Sebastián"
Write a love letter for my girlHazme una carta de amor para mi chavala
The painted donkey who lives in SoyatánLa burra pinta que vive en Soyatán

Run, tricky little donkey, come onCórrele burrito marrullero, caray
We're almost there, can't you see?Mira que ya vamos a llegar, ¿no lo ves?
When we reach the pastureCuando lleguemos al potrero verás
I'll give you a vacationUnas vacaciones te daré
