El Tamborilero

The road that leads to Bethlehem, goes behind the valley covered in snow,
The shepherds want to see their king,
They bring gifts in their humble bag
Ropo pon pon, ropo pon pon,
He is born in a manger in Bethlehem... the child of God.

I simply brought my heart, raising this cup
Giving thanks to life, thanks to God
And thanks to all of you.

Thank you for your applause,
Tonight... is extremely special
It's the last night of the year, and while others came with a treasure...
I only come with the attitude of a sincere heart.

To thank you for each and every one of the children of my island
Puerto Rico
And praying for all of them,
That none have to live in need
Giving thanks for all the fathers and mothers of my island Puerto Rico
For those who are completely happy,
And for those who suffer
Because they no longer have their beloved angels by their side,
Giving thanks for each and every one of my friends
Who truly seek your sincere path
And above all, hold me dear.

And there is light in the sky asking for justice,
Sincere justice,
Justice that is not swayed by skin color
Justice based on your love
And I ask for justice for the fallen,
For all who have died and I ask with all sincerity
For the comfort of all those who have suffered...
The reservoirs of life, I ask for the prisoners,
Because behind that cell, a happy Christmas is an achievement,
I ask for those who do not have resources,
But who continue to work day by day.

And I raise this cup with pain just to say... thank you!
Because you are the only one who never fails me
Because you are the only one who, having everything...
Chose to be nobody
Teach me to learn from you.

And please good king, remember,
The many children who will not have toys this year,
The many children who will not hear carols,
The many children who may not have a merry Christmas,
Take care of my son
And have mercy on all of us
