Also in this song there are some logical problems, because the Three Magicians are on the way to Holland, not to Bethlehem. There is a blog on the net, where a cat describes what its owner is doing. However, it is true for this song as well as for the others - it's nice. |
Cargaditos de juguetes,
cargaditos de juguetes
para el Niño entretener.
Olé, olé Holanda olé
Holanda ya se ve, ya se ve, ya se ve.
...........................
Loaded with toys,
Loaded with toys,
to amuse the child
Olé, olé Holland olé
Holland is already to be seen, be seen, be seen.
...........................
Como el camino es tan largo.
Como el camino es tan largo
pide el niño de beber.
Olé olé Holanda, olé
Holanda ya se ve, ya se ve, ya se ve.
...........................
Because the way is so far,
because the way is so far,
ask the child for something to drink.
Olé, olé Holland olé
Holland is already to be seen, be seen, be seen.
...........................
Que los ríos vienen turbios.
Que los ríos vienen turbios
y no se pueden beber.
Olé olé Holanda, olé
Holanda ya se ve, ya se ve, ya se ve.
Because the rivers are muddy,
Because the rivers are muddy,
One cannot drink from them.
Olé, olé Holland olé
Holland is already to be seen, be seen, be seen.
