Lyrics of La Peregrinación - Dulce Pontes

La Peregrinación (original)

A la huella, a la huella, Jose y Maria
Por las pampas heladas, cardos y hortigas
A la huella, a la huella, cortando campo
No hay cobijo ni fondas, sigan andando
¿Florecita del campo
Clavel del aire
Si ninguno te aloja, adonde naces?
¿Donde naces, florcita, que estas creciendo
Palomita asustada, grillo sin sueño?
A la huella, a la huella
Jose y Maria
Con un Dios escondido, nadie sabia
A la huella, a la huella, los peregrinos
Prestenme una tapera para mi niño
A la huella, a la huella
Soles y lunas
Dos ojitos de almendra, piel de aceituna
¡Ay, burrito del campo!
¡Ay, buey barcino!
Que mi niño ya viene, ¡haganle sitio!
Un ranchito de quincha
Solo me ampara
Dos alientos amigos, la luna clara
A la huella, a la huella, Jose y Maria
Con un Dios escondido, nadie…
Sabia

(translation)

On the trail, on the trail, Jose and Maria
Through the frozen pampas, thistles and hortigas
On the trail, on the trail, cutting the field
There is no shelter or inns, keep walking
flower of the field
air carnation
If no one lodges you, where are you born?
Where were you born, little flower, that you are growing
Scared little dove, sleepless cricket?
On the trail, on the trail
Jose and Maria
With a hidden God, nobody knew
On the trail, on the trail, the pilgrims
Lend me a cap for my child
On the trail, on the trail
suns and moons
Two almond eyes, olive skin
Oh, country donkey!
Oh, barcino ox!
That my boy is coming, make room for him!
A quincha ranch
only protect me
Two friendly breaths, the clear moon
On the trail, on the trail, Jose and Maria
With a hidden God, no one...
I knew
