Carretero, carretero

Cart driver, cart driver, look for some leafy pines
Look for some leafy pines, cart driver, cart driver
Look for some leafy pines
To leave the cart, as night falls in the grove
As night falls in the grove, the pilgrims are tired
And I want the best spot
And I want the best spot to adorn my banner
In front of that cart, throughout the night
I will sing to my banner
Even if my voice runs out, even if I am tired

Cart driver, cart driver, give water to those oxen
Give water to those oxen, cart driver, cart driver
Give water to those oxen
Pulling the cart and they are the thirstiest
And they are the thirstiest, they don't drink sips of wine
And they step by step
And they step by step, my divine banner
In front of that cart, throughout the night
I will sing to my banner
Even if my voice runs out, even if I am tired

Cart driver, cart driver, come closer to the fire
Come closer to the fire, cart driver, cart driver
Come closer to the fire
And together we will contemplate the brightness of the stars
The brightness of the stars, we will search in their shine
For all the pilgrims
For all the pilgrims who walked these paths
In front of that cart, throughout the night
I will sing to my banner
Even if my voice runs out, even if I am tired

Cart driver, cart driver, tomorrow we will see her
Tomorrow we will see her, cart driver, cart driver
Tomorrow we will see her
Time feels long, I will spend the night awake
I will spend the night awake, singing with the pilgrims
And singing a hymn to her
And singing a hymn to her, I will tell her how much I love her
In front of that cart, throughout the night
I will sing to my banner
Even if my voice runs out, even if I am tired
