La Burrita

The Little Donkey

La Burrita

Arre arriving at the little path aquimichú aquimichú,Arre que llegando al caminito aquimichú aquimichú,
Arre arriving at the little path aquimichu aquimichu.Arre que llegando al caminito aquimichu aquimichu.
Here my pretty little donkey even though she's a bit angryA qui mi chula mi burrita aunque vaya enojadita
Because I didn't give her her alfalfa because I didn't give her her corn.Porque no le di su alfalfa porque no le di su maíz.

Arre arriving at the little path aquemichu aquemichú,Arre que llegando al caminito aquemichu aquemichú,
Arre arriving at the little path aquemichu aquemichú.Arre que llegando al caminito aquemichu aquemichú.
What a beautiful hairy one I'm talking about the little donkeyA que mechuda tan bonita me refiero a la burrita
And if she uses her trunk it's to make me like her more.Y si para la trompita es pa’ que me guste más.

Don't worry my little donkey don't get scaredNo te fijes mi burrita no te vayas a espantar
A mule in the cornfield has come to frolic.Que una mula en la milpita se ha venido a retozar.
No worries little donkey you can't get scaredNo hay cuidado la burrita no se puede ya espantar
As they always go together she got used to it.Como siempre andan juntitas ya se supo acostumbrar.

Arre arriving at the little path aquemichu aquemichú,Arre que llegando al caminito aquemichu aquemichú,
Arre arriving at the little path aquemichu aquemichú.Arre que llegando al caminito aquemichu aquemichú.
Oh, the skinny little donkey needs her grassAh que la burra tan flaquita necesita su pastito
If she stays still my captain will give it to her.Si se queda paradita se la da mi capitán.

Poor little donkey doesn't want to walk anymorePobrecita la burrita ya no quiere caminar
Takes a few steps forward and then as many back.Da unos pasos pa’ delante y otros tantos para atrás.
Arre, arre my little donkey don't make me angryArre, arre mi burrita ya no me hagas enojar
We'll arrive soon and you'll get your corn.Pos ya pronto llegaremos y te van a dar tu maíz

Don't be so stubborn you might tripNo se ponga tan arisca que se puede tropezar
And the fall will be hard because the captain is tough.Y el tropiezo va a ser duro porque duro es el capitán.
Don't be so fancy because it might turn outNo se ponga tantos moños porque puede resultar
That those fancy things become decorations on a military cap.Que esos moños sean adorno de una gorra militar.
