HACIA BELÉN VA UNA BURRA (Spanish)

Hacia Belén va una burra, rin, rin,
yo me remendaba, yo me remendé,
yo me eché un remiendo, yo me lo quité,
cargado de chocolate.
Lleva su chocolatera, rin, rin,
yo me remendaba, yo me remendé,
yo me eché un remiendo, yo me lo quité,
su molinillo y su anafre.

María, María, ven acá corriendo
que el chocolatillo se lo están comiendo.
María, María, ven acá volando
que el chocolatillo se lo están comiendo.

En el portal de Belén, rin, rin,
yo me remendaba, yo me remendé,
yo me eché un remiendo, yo me lo quité,
gitanillos han entrado.
Y al Niño que está en la cuna, rin, rin,
yo me remendaba, yo me remendé,
yo me eché un remiendo, yo me lo quité,
los pañales le han quitado.

María, María, ven acá corriendo
que los pañalillos los están robando.
María, María, ven acá volando
que los pañalillos los están robando.

En el portal de Belén, rin, rin,
yo me remendaba, yo me remendé,
yo me eché un remiendo, yo me lo quité,
han entrado los ratones.
Y al bueno de San José, rin, rin,
yo me remendaba, yo me remendé,
yo me eché un remiendo, yo me lo quité,
le han roído los calzones.

María, María, ven acá corriendo
que los calzoncillos los están royendo,
María, María, ven acá volando
que los calzoncillos los están royendo.
A JENNY GOES TO BETHLEHEM

A jenny goes to Bethlehem, rin, rin,
I was mending, I mended,
I put a patch, I took it off,
Loaded with chocolate
She carries her chocolate, rin, rin,
I was mending, I mended,
I put a patch, I took it off,
Her grinder and her portable stove.

Mary, Mary, come here running
for they're eating the chocolate,
Mary, Mary, come here flying
for they're eating the chocolate.

In Bethlehem Nativity scene, rin, rin,
I was mending, I mended,
I put a patch, I took it off,
Little Gypsies have entered.
And to the Child who is in the cradle, rin, rin,
I was mending, I mended,
I put a patch, I took it off,
They've removed the diapers.

Mary, Mary, come here running
For they're robbing the diapers,
Mary, Mary, come here flying
For they're robbing the diapers.

In Bethlehem Nativity scene, rin, rin,
I was mending, I mended,
I put a patch, I took it off,
The mice have entered.
And to the good Saint Joseph, rin, rin,
I was mending, I mended,
I put a patch, I took it off,
They have gnawed the breeches.

Mary, Mary, come here running
For they're gnawing the breeches,
Mary, Mary, come here flying
For they're gnawing the breeches.
Note that the "mending" lines are worded with a reflexive "me" in Spanish, which means that the mending is about some piece of clothing of the singer.
