El carro de Santa Claus / Santa's car
Santa Claus va en su auto
y se parquea con cuidado,
deja el carro solitario
y se va a dormir un rato,
porque la noche a llegado.
Durante su ausencia,
cuando la oscuridad es extrema,
aparece un ladrón en la escena,
al auto parqueado se acerca
y en este se monta sin reserva.
Santa Claus is driving his car
and parks it carefully,
leaves the car alone
and goes to take a nap,
because night has fallen.
While he’s away,
when the darkness is at its deepest,
a thief appears on the scene,
approaches the parked car
and gets in without hesitation.
Enciende el auto con emoción
y se marcha con precaución,
lo robó, es un ladrón
y dejo sin carro a Santa Claus
que bien parqueado lo dejó.
Cuando el sol regresa,
Santa Claus a su auto se acerca,
pero, ya no lo encuentra
y llora, llora sin cautela,
hasta que un burro hasta él se acerca.
He starts the car with excitement
and drives off cautiously,
he stole it, he’s a thief,
and left Santa Claus without a car,
even though Santa had parked it so neatly.
When the sun comes up again,
Santa Claus goes to his car,
but he can’t find it anymore,
and he cries, he cries without restraint,
until a donkey comes up to him.
El animal seca sus lágrimas
y promete que le ayudará con su causa
trae un barco, que con fuerza arrastra
y le dice a Santa,
que en este se suba, sin miedo a nada.
Santa Claus ahora no va en auto
pero, pasea en un lindo barco
ya no hay renos arrastrando
pero sí un burro grisáceo
que lo llevará en Noche Buena a dejar los regalos.
The animal wipes away his tears
and promises to help him with his mission,
he brings a boat, which he pulls along with all his might,
and tells Santa
to climb aboard, without fear of anything.
Santa Claus no longer rides in a car,
but instead travels in a beautiful boat,
there are no reindeer pulling him along anymore,
but there is a grayish donkey
that will take him out on Christmas Eve to deliver the gifts.
