El Tamborilero
Los Niños Cantores De Navidad Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

El camino que lleva a Belén
Baja hasta el valle que la nieve cubrió
Los pastorcillos quieren ver a su Rey
Le traen regalos en su humilde zurrón
Rom pom pom pom, rom pom pom pom
A nacido en un portal de Belén
El Niño Dios
Yo quisiera poner a tus pies
Algún presente que te agrade Señor
Más tú ya sabes que soy pobre también
Y no poseo más que un viejo tambor
Rom pom pom pom, rom pom pom pom
En Tú honor frente al portal tocaré
Con mi tambor

El camino que lleva a Belén
Yo voy marcando con mi viejo tambor
Nada mejor hay que te pueda ofrecer
Su ronco acento es un canto de amor




Rom pom pom pom, rom pom pom pom
Cuando Dios me vió tocando ante Él, me sonrió

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Los Niños Cantores' El Tamborilero song are a recount of the journey of the shepherds to Bethlehem to see baby Jesus. The first stanza describes the pathway to Bethlehem that goes down to a valley covered in snow. The shepherd children eagerly bring gifts to their king, carried in their humble knapsacks. The chorus "rom pom pom pom" mimics the sound of the boy's drum as they follow the shepherds to visit the newborn King, Christ, born in a manger in Bethlehem.


In the second stanza, the singer, a poor boy, wants to give a present to the Lord but acknowledges that he cannot offer much. He says that he will play his old drum as an ode to honor and worship his savior. The final verse repeats the journey to Bethlehem, but instead of following the path, the child walks marking the way with his drum. He believes that his drum is the best gift he can offer to Jesus, and the sounds it produces are a genuine expression of his love and devotion.
