La burriquita
Isabel Parra
The Little Donkey
Here comes the little donkey,
here comes tamed,
don't be afraid of the donkey
that is not the stubborn one.
Oh yes, oh no,
Mariquita gave me
a canary that sang
the verses of the Child God.
This is the new little donkey
that comes from Campajal,
and hadn't come before
for not having a muzzle.
Don't feed grass to the donkey
so it won't be able to dance,
give it a Mariquita
and just watch it.
