With my little savanna donkey, I'm on my way to Bethlehem
With my little savanna donkey, I'm on my way to Bethlehem
If they see me, if they see me
I'm on my way to Bethlehem
If they see me, if they see me
I'm on my way to Bethlehem
The little morning star illuminates my path
The little morning star illuminates my path
If they see me, if they see me
I'm on my way to Bethlehem
If they see me, if they see me
I'm on my way to Bethlehem
Tuqui, tuqui, tuqui, tuqui
Tuqui, tuqui, tuqui, ta
Hurry up, my little donkey
We're about to arrive
Tuqui, tuqui, tuqui, tuqui
Tuqui, tuqui, tuqui, ta
Hurry up my little donkey, let's go see Jesus
With my cuatro I go singing, my little donkey goes trotting
With my cuatro I go singing, my little donkey goes trotting
If they see me, if they see me
I'm on my way to Bethlehem
If they see me, if they see me
I'm on my way to Bethlehem
With my little savanna donkey, I'm on my way to Bethlehem
With my little savanna donkey, I'm on my way to Bethlehem
If they see me, if they see me

If they see me, if they see me
I'm on my way to Bethlehem
Tuqui, tuqui, tuqui, tuqui

Hurry up, my little donkey
We're about to arrive
Tuqui, tuqui, tuqui, tuqui

Hurry up my little donkey, let's go see Jesus
With my little savanna donkey, I'm on my way to Bethlehem
With my little savanna donkey, I'm on my way to Bethlehem
If they see me, if they see me
