Yo me remendaba, yo me remendé
Yo me hice un remiendo, yo me lo quité
Cargada de chocolate
Lleva en su chocolatera rin, rin
Yo me remendaba, yo me remendé
Yo me hice un remiendo, yo me lo quité
María, María, ven a acá corriendo
Que el chocolatillo se lo están comiendo
María, María, ven a acá corriendo
Que el chocolatillo se lo están comiendo
En el portal de Belén rin, rin
Yo me remendaba, yo me remendé
Yo me hice un remiendo, yo me lo quité
Gitanillos han entrado
Y al Niño que está en la cuna rin, rin
Yo me remendaba, yo me remendé
Yo me hice un remiendo, yo me lo quité
Los pañales le han robado
María, María, ven acá volando
Que los pañalillos los están llevando
María, María, ven acá volando
Que los pañalillos los están llevando
Hacia Belén va una burra, rin, rin
Yo me remendaba, yo me remendé
Yo me hice un remiendo, yo me lo quité
Cargada de chocolate
Lleva su chocolatera rin, rin
Yo me remendaba, yo me remendé
Yo me hice un remiendo, yo me lo quité
Su molinillo y su anafre
María, María, ven a acá corriendo
Que el chocolatillo se lo están comiendo
María, María, ven a acá corriendo
Que el chocolatillo se lo están comiendo
The song "Hacia Belén" is a traditional Spanish Christmas carol. The lyrics describe a journey towards Bethlehem on a donkey that is loaded with chocolate, a chocolate pot, grinder, and stove. The song references a group of gypsies who have come to visit the baby Jesus in the manger. In the second verse, the gypsies have stolen the baby's swaddling clothes, prompting Mary to run after them.
The song is full of playful lyrics and sounds, including the repetitive "rin, rin" that represents the sound of the donkey's bells. The chorus, "Yo me remendaba" translates to "I was sewing myself up" or "I was fixing myself". This verse is repeated throughout the song, emphasizing the idea of repairing or improving oneself in preparation for the arrival of the baby Jesus.
