Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Niño del Tambor by Plácido Domingo from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
El camino que lleva a Belén
The road that leads to Bethlehem
Baja hasta el valle que la nieve cubrió
Go down to the valley that the snow covered
Los pastorcillos quieren ver a su Rey,
The little shepherds want to see their King,
Le traen regalos en su humilde zurrón
They bring him gifts in his humble bag
Al Redentor, al Redentor
To the Redeemer, to the Redeemer
Yo quisiera poner a tu pies
I would like to lay at your feet
Algún presente que te agrade Señor,
Some gift that pleases you Lord,
Más tú ya sabes que soy pobre también,
But you already know that I am poor too,
Y no poseo más que un viejo tambor
And I have nothing but an old drum.
(rom pom pom pom, rom pom pom pom)
(ROM POM POM POM, ROM POM POM POM)
En tu honor frente al portal tocaré
In your honor in front of the portal I will play
Con mi tambor
With my drum
El camino que lleva a Belén
The road that leads to Bethlehem
Voy marcando con mi viejo tambor,
I'm dialing with my old drum,
Nada hay mejor que yo pueda ofrecer,
There is nothing better than I can offer,
Su ronco acento es un canto de amor
His hoarse accent is a love song
Al Redentor, al Redentor
To the Redeemer, to the Redeemer
