And the mechanic Melchor

He gave him wine.

Baltasar went to refuel

Beyond the fifth pine tree ...

And the great Melchor was uneasy

He consulted his "Longinos".

-We did not arrive,

we did not arrive

and the Holy Childbirth has come! "It's twelve minutes past three" and three kings have been lost.

The limping camel

More half dead than alive

It is dislodging its plush

Among the trunks of olive trees.

Approaching Gaspar,

Melchior said in his ear: V -Good camel birria

that in the East you have sold.

At the entrance of Bethlehem

The camel hiccupped him. Ay Oh, what a big sadness

with his hair and his hiccups!

Myrrh was falling

Along the way,

Baltasar carries the chests,

Melchior pushed the bug. A And to the many already of the dawn

-they already sang little birds

the three kings remained

open-mouthed and undecided,

hearing like a Man

speak to a newborn Child.

I do not want gold or incense

nor those cold treasures,

I love the camel, I love him.

I love him, the Child repeated. Los On foot, the three kings return

Cacibs and afflicted.

While the camel thrown

Tickle the Child.
