My Choice_Christmas - El Burrito de Belén (The Donkey of Belen)

El Burrito De Belen, also known as "Mi Burrito Sabanero" is a popular Christmas song in Latin America. It was written by Hugo Blanco in 1976, and has been recorded many times by many popular artists.

This cute children's Christmas song is from Venezuela. The real and original title is "EL BURRITO SABANERO".

SABANERO means "From the Savannah (Grassland)". A possible translation is "THE LITTLE GRASSLANDER (or "Country's") DONKEY". Savannah is a flat and open land with few trees and lots of grass.

This theme was an instant success in Venezuela when it was released in 1976, and very soon became a traditional venezuelan christmas song and a hit in all over latinamerica. The original (and the best) version of this song was recorded for a venezuelan chidren music band called "La Rondallita", and the name of the kid who sang the song was Ricardo Cuenci.

This pretty and humble song, basically talks about a little kid that is going (with his little grasslander donkey and his little guitar) on the road to Bethlehem to see Jesus.

Lyrics go something like this:

With my little grasslander donkey,
i´m going on the road to Bethlehem
(Bis)

-Chorus:
If you see me, if you see me,
i´m going on the road to Bethlehem.
(Bis)

Feliz Navidad para todos, con nuestros mejores deseos para el Nuevo Año.

Merry Christmas to all with our best wishes for the New Year.
