Yo quiero ir a mi pueblo, allá pa' las navidades
I want to go to my town, over there for the holidays
Oír misa de aguinaldo, salir después a la calle
To hear the Christmas mass, then go out to the street
Tirarle a mis amistades con las tripitas del pan
To throw to my friends with the crumbs of the bread
Yo sé que cuando eso haga, de gozo voy a llorar
I know that when I do that, I will cry with joy
Y por eso digo yo
And that's why I say
Gloria al Señor, gloria al Señor
Glory to the Lord, glory to the Lord
Gloria en las alturas
Glory in the highest
Felicidades, felicidades
Congratulations, congratulations
Tenga mil venturas (Y mis hermanitos que digan)
May you have a thousand blessings (And my little brothers say)
Gloria al Señor, gloria al Señor
Glory to the Lord, glory to the Lord
Gloria en las alturas
Glory in the highest
Felicidades, felicidades
Congratulations, congratulations
Tenga mil venturas (¡Quema!)
May you have a thousand fortunes (Burn!)
Yo quiero ir a mi pueblo, allá pa' las navidades
I want to go to my hometown, there for Christmas
Visitar los frikitines, comer mucho cuchifrito
Visit the little freaks, eat lots of fried pork
Beber cañita y coquito y echarme un buen jalaíto
Drink cane juice and coconut milk and get a good buzz
Y cuando la juma me pase, de gozo voy a llorar
And when the buzz fades away, I'll cry with joy
Y por eso digo yo
And for that, I say
Gloria al Señor, gloria al Señor
Glory to the Lord, glory to the Lord
Gloria en las alturas
Glory in the highest
Felicidades, felicidades
Congratulations, congratulations
Tenga mil venturas (Mis hermanitos digan)
May you have a thousand fortunes (My little brothers say)
Gloria al Señor, gloria al Señor
Glory to the Lord, glory to the Lord
Gloria en las alturas
Glory in the heights
Felicidades, felicidades
Congratulations, congratulations
Tenga mil venturas (¡Alza!)
May you have a thousand fortunes (Raise up!)
Yo quiero ir a mi pueblo, allá pa' las navidades
I want to go to my village, there for Christmas
Oír misa de aguinaldo, salir después a la calle
To hear the Christmas mass, then go out to the street
Después irme al son de diana, con bombardino y trompeta
Then leave to the sound of dawn, with tuba and trumpet
Yo sé que al fin de la fiesta, de gozo voy a llorar
I know that at the end of the party, I will cry with joy
Y por eso digo yo
And that's why I say
Gloria al Señor, gloria al Señor
Glory to the Lord, glory to the Lord
Gloria en las alturas
Glory in the heights
Felicidades, felicidades
Congratulations, congratulations
Tenga mil venturas (Y por eso)
May you have a thousand fortunes (And that's why)
Gloria al Señor, gloria al Señor
Glory to the Lord, glory to the Lord
Gloria en las alturas
Glory in the heights
Felicidades, felicidades
Congratulations, congratulations
Tenga mil venturas
May you have a thousand fortunes
Compai Chico, subile a jalar a to' el hocico
Compai Chico, turn it up and let it all out
¡Quema!
Burn!
Felicidades
Congratulations
