Yo miraba entristecido
I was looking , saddened,
A mis amigos sonreir
at my friends who smiled
Con montones de juguetes
with many toys
Que esa noche si les trajo santa claus
That Santa Claus brought them that night
Pero a mi no
But not to me
Fui corriendo hasta mi casa
I ran to my house
Y le dije a mi papa
And I told my dad
Porque yo que soy tan bueno
Why is it that I who am good boy
Que me porto como ellos
And behave just like they do
Siempre tengo que jugar
always must play
Con mi viejo caballo de palo
with my old wooden horse
Con este viejo caballo de palo
With this old wooden horse
Que me sirviera de espada una vez
That was once good for a sword
Seis navidades con el he pasado
I've spent six Christmases with him
Di papa ¿por que?
Tell me dad, why?
Con este viejo caballo de palo
With this old wooden horse
Que me sirviera de amigo una vez
That was once like a friend to me
Seis navidades con el he pasado
I've spent six Christmases with him
Di papa ¿por que?
Tell me dad, why?
Fui corriendo hasta mi casa
I ran to my house
Y le dije a mi papa

Porque yo que soy tan bueno
Why is it that I who am good boy
