El Burrito
Pedro Infante
The Little Donkey
I have an authentic and legitimate little donkey
That at night jumps out of the corral
People around call him the atomic one
There's no doubt he has no rival
My little donkey really likes singing
When I sing his song in the mountains
He's as fast as lightning on the road
But a mosquito bite makes him run
Run, tricky little donkey, come on
We're almost there, can't you see?
When we reach the pasture
I'll give you a vacation
Come on, my little donkey, don't lag behind, run, run, run!
He eats up the kilometers going downhill
He doesn't like walking uphill
He gets melancholic when scolded
But he brays when I pet him
My little donkey really likes singing
When I sing his song in the mountains
He's as fast as lightning on the road
But a mosquito bite makes him run
When he drinks his guanabana pulque
He tells me, 'Look, don't be stubborn, Sebastián'
Write a love letter for my girl
The painted donkey who lives in Soyatán
Run, tricky little donkey, come on
We're almost there, can't you see?
When we reach the pasture
I'll give you a vacation
Come on, my little donkey, don't lag behind, run, run, run!
He eats up the kilometers going downhill
He doesn't like walking uphill
He gets melancholic when scolded
But he brays when I pet him
My little donkey really likes singing
When I sing his song in the mountains
He's as fast as lightning on the road
But a mosquito bite makes him run
When he drinks his guanabana pulque
He tells me, 'Look, don't be stubborn, Sebastián'
Write a love letter for my girl
The painted donkey who lives in Soyatán
Run, tricky little donkey, come on
We're almost there, can't you see?
When we reach the pasture
I'll give you a vacation
Come on, my little donkey, don't lag behind, run, run, run!
He eats up the kilometers going downhill
He doesn't like walking uphill
He gets melancholic when scolded
But he brays when I pet him
