by Ocaña (flourished c1600)

Camino a Belén
Language: Spanish (Español) 
Caminad, Esposa, Virgen singular;
Que los gallos cantan, cerca está el lugar.
Caminad, Señora, bien de todo bien,
Que antes de una hora somos en Belén;
Allá muy bien podréis reposar.
Que los gallos cantan; cerca está el lugar.
Yo, Señora, siento que vais fatigada,
Y paso tormento por veros cansada;
Presto habrá posada do podréis holgar
Que los gallos cantan, cerca está el lugar.
Señora, en Belén ya presto seremos;
Que allí habrá bien do nos alberguemos;
Parientes tenemos con quien descansar.
Que los gallos cantan, cerca está el lugar.
¡Ay, Señora mía, si parida os viese,
De albricias daría cuanto yo tuviese;
Este asno que fuese, holgaría dar.
Que los gallos cantan cerca está el lugar.
