El camino que lleva a Belén
The road that leads to Bethlehem
Baja hasta el valle que la nieve cubrió
Descends to the valley covered in snow
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 their humble sack
Rom pom pom pom, rom pom pom pom
Rom pom pom pom, rom pom pom pom
Ha nacído en un portal de belen el niño Dios
He has been born in a Bethlehem stable, the child God
Yo quisiera poner a tus pies
I would like to place at your feet
Algún presente que te agrade Señor
Some gift that pleases you, Lord
Mas 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 possess 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 at the portal, I will play
Con mi tambor
With my drum
El camino que lleva a Belén
The path that leads to Bethlehem
Yo voy marcando con mi viejo tambor
I am marking it with my old drum
Nada mejor hay que yo pueda ofrecer
There's nothing better that I can offer
Su ronco acento es un canto de amor
Its coarse accent is a song of love
Rom pom pom pom, rom pom pom pom
Rom pom pom pom, rom pom pom pom
Cuando Dios me vió tocando ante El, me sonrió
When God saw me playing before Him, He smiled at me
Rom pom pom pom, rom pom pom pom, rom pom pom pom
Rom pom pom pom, rom pom pom pom, rom pom pom pom
