Lyrics of Camino de Belén - Rocio Jurado

Camino de Belén (original)

La Virgen va caminando
Va caminando a Belén;
Como el camino es tan largo
Pide el Niño de beber
No pidas agua, mi Niño
No pidas agua, mi bien
Que las aguas vienen turbias
Y no se pueden beber
La Virgen va caminando
La Virgen va caminando
Va caminando a Belén
Va caminando a Belén;
Como el camino es tan largo
Como el camino es tan largo
Pide el Niño de beber
Pide el Niño de beber
Olé, olé
Olé, olé, Holanda, olé
Holanda, ya usted ve
Ya usted ve, ya usted ve
Allá arriba en aquel alto
Hay un seco naranjel;
El pastor que las guardaba
Era ciego y no las ve
Dame, ciego, una naranja
Para este Niño beber:
Coja una, coja dos
Coja las que es menester
Naranjas que el Niño coge
Vuelven de nuevo a nacer
Toma, ciego, este pañuelo
Limpia los ojos con él;
Vete, ciego, para casa
Verás hijos y mujer
La mujer como una rosa
Los hijos como un clavel

(translation)

The Virgin is walking
She is walking to Bethlehem;
as the road is so long
Ask the Child to drink
Don't ask for water, my child
Don't ask for water, my good
That the waters are cloudy
And they can't be drunk
The Virgin is walking
The Virgin is walking
She is walking to Bethlehem
She is walking to Bethlehem;
as the road is so long
as the road is so long
Ask the Child to drink
Ask the Child to drink
Ole Ole
Hey, hey, Holland, hey
Holland, you see
Now you see, now you see
up there on that high
There is a dry orange;
The shepherd who guarded them
He was blind and he doesn't see them
Give me, blind man, an orange
For this Child to drink:
Take one, take two
Take what is necessary
Oranges that the child picks
They are born again
Take, blind man, this handkerchief
Wipe eyes with it;
Go home blind
You will see children and wife
The woman like a rose
children like a carnation
