A la huella, a la huella

To the trace, to the trace

Jose y maria

Joseph and Mary

Por las pampas heladas

Through the frozen plains

Cardos y ortigas.

Thistles and nettles.


A la huella, a la huella

To the trace, to the trace

Cortando campo

Cutting through the field

No hay cobijo ni fonda

There is no shelter or inn

Sigan andando.

Keep walking.


Florecita del campo,

Little flower of the field,

Clavel del aire

Air's carnation

Si ninguno te aloja

If no one lodges you

¿adonde naces?

Where do you bloom?


¿donde naces, florcita

Where do you bloom, little flower

Que estas creciendo,

That you are growing,

Palomita asustada,

Frightened little dove,

Grillo sin sueño?

Sleepless cricket?


A la huella, a la huella

To the trace, to the trace

Jose y maria

Con un dios escondido

Nadie sabia ...

A la huella, a la huella

To the trace, to the trace

Los peregrinos

Prestenme una tapera

Lend me a shelter

Para mi niño.

For my child.


A la huella, a la huella

To the trace, to the trace

Soles y lunas

Suns and moons

Los ojitos de almendra

¡ay burrito del campo!

Oh, little donkey of the field!

¡ay buey barcino!

Oh, oxen of the barn!

Haganle sitio!

Make room for him!


Un ranchito de quincha

A little thatched hut

Solo me ampara

Only shelters me

Dos alientos amigos

Two friendly breaths

La luna clara

A la huella, a la huella

To the trace, to the trace

Jose y maria

Con un dios escondido
