Camino de Belen
Rocío Jurado
Road to Bethlehem
The Virgin is walking,
walking to Bethlehem;
because the road is so long
the Child asks for a drink.
Don't ask for water, my child,
don't ask for water, my dear
for the waters are muddy
and cannot be drunk.
The Virgin is walking,
The Virgin is walking
walking to Bethlehem
walking to Bethlehem;
because the road is so long
because the road is so long
the Child asks for a drink
the Child asks for a drink.
Ole, ole
ole, ole, olanda, ole,
olanda, you see
you see, you see.
Up there on that hill,
there's a dry orange tree;
the shepherd who kept them
was blind and couldn't see.
Give me, blind man, an orange
to give to this child to drink.
Take one, take two,
take the one that's needed.
Oranges that the Child picks
grow back again.
Take, blind man, this handkerchief,
clean your eyes with it;
you'll see children and wife,
the wife like a rose,
the children like a carnation.
