Cholito Jesús
Ketzal
Cholito Jesus
We take the child God
A little colored poncho
A very mountain chuyito
Cotton shoes
And everyone will yell at him
(Oops cholito!)
Where did you come from?
(Oops cholito!)
And everyone will believe him
That you were born in Peru
We take the virgin
A warm shawl
To Saint Joseph a quena
A charango and a bass drum
And everyone will yell at him
(Oops cholito!)
Where did you come from?
(Oops cholito!)
And everyone will believe him
That you were born in Peru
The little Indian shepherds
Wheat and wine will carry
Joseph and the Virgin Mary
They will have good chicha
And everyone will yell at him
(Oops cholito!)
Where did you come from?
(Oops cholito!)
And everyone will believe him
That you were born in Peru
