El Niño Del Tambor Lyrics in English Carla Morrison

Home / Lyrics Translation / Carla Morrison / El Niño Del Tambor

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Niño Del Tambor by Carla Morrison from Spanish to English.

The road that leads to Bethlehem

Goes down to the valley that the snow covered

The little shepherds want to see their King

They bring Him gifts in their humble satchel

To the Redeemer, to the Redeemer

I would like to lay at Your feet

Some present that pleases You, Lord

But You already know that I'm poor too

And I don't have more than an old drum

Rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum

In Your honor at the doorway I'll play

With my drum

The road that leads to Bethlehem

I'm keeping time with my old drum

There's nothing better that I can offer

Its hoarse accent is a song of love

To the Redeemer, to the Redeemer

When God saw me playing before Him

He smiled at me

SONG MEANING

El Niño Del Tambor paints a snowy journey toward Bethlehem where shepherds hurry to greet the newborn King. In their midst walks a humble boy carrying nothing but his battered drum. While others present treasures, he worries that he has no costly gift. Finally he offers the only thing he owns: a heartfelt rhythm that echoes through the valley. The steady rom-pom-pom becomes both a lullaby and a declaration of joy, and the child’s simple performance earns a smile from God Himself.

Carla Morrison’s gentle rendition reminds us that the most valuable presents are not wrapped in gold but in sincerity, love, and creativity. By turning a rough old drum into a song of devotion, the boy shows that anyone can contribute something beautiful, no matter their circumstances. The track invites listeners to celebrate generosity of spirit during the holiday season and beyond.
