Doña María, Le Ruego

(Christmas carol theme)

Lady Maria, I beg you
In the name of good fortune
Let me see your baby
They're about to give me one.

Lady Maria, I came
To see the little God child.
Will you give me permission?
They're about to give me two.

Ask little Mariquita
Of her husband, Don José
Let me see the little baby
They're about to give me three.

Keep in mind, Mariquita
I've almost worn out my shoes
Just to see your Manuelito
They're about to give me four.

From Ñuble I came, ma'am
From the fields of Niblinto
To greet your baby
Before they give me five.

Ma'am, Lady Maria,
Ray of clear light,
May you live for many years
With your little Jesus.
