A Spanish Christmas Carol from Bolivia – “HUACHI TORITO” (Giddy-up Little Bull)

Saturday, December 17th, 2005

Here’s a Bolivian Christmas song in Spanish and with an English translation…

Huachí toritó (Villancico)
(Spanish)

Que le daremos al niño bonito.
Que le daremos que no le haga mal,
le daremos una cesta de guindas
para que coma y pueda jugar.

Al huachí, huachi toritó
toritó del corralitó
Al huachí, huachi toritó
toritó del corralitó.

Al niñó recién nacido
todos le ofrecen un don,
yo soy pobre, nada tengo
le ofrezco mi corazón.

Huachitó, toritó
toritó del corralitó
Huachitó, toritó
toritó del corralitó.

San José y María
y Santa Isabel
vagan por las calles
de Jerusalén.

Preguntando a todos
del niño Jesús
Todos les responden
que ha muerto en la cruz.
Todos les responden
que ha muerto en la cruz.

Al huachí, huachi toritó
toritó del corralitó
Al huachí, huachi toritó
toritó del corralitó.

Here’s an English translation of Huachi toritó…

Giddy-up, Little Bull
(Christmas Carol)

What will we give to the nice baby
What will we give that’d do him no harm
We’ll give him a basket of Morillo cherries
So he can eat and play.

Giddy-up! Giddy-up, little bull
Little bull from the little farm.
Giddy-up! Giddy-up, little bull
Little bull from the little farm.

To the new-born baby
They all give a present
I am poor, I have nothing,
I give him my heart.

Giddy-up, little bull
Little bull from the little farm.
Giddy-up, little bull
Little bull from the little farm.

Saint Joseph and Mary
And Saint Elizabeth
Are roaming in the streets
Of Jerusalem.

They’re asking everybody for
News of the infant Jesus
All of them answer
He died on the cross.

Giddy-up! Giddy-up, little bull
Little bull from the little farmyard
Giddy-up! Giddy-up, little bull
Little bull from the little farmyard.

Many thanks to Susana Mariscal, Daniel Dorado and Joaquin Dorado for contributing this song, and to Monique Palomares at Mama Lisa’s World en français for the English translation. ¡Muchas gracias!
