It is "my little plains donkey" song transcription here

It has also been translated as "my grassland donkey" alternate transcription

Burrito Sabanero - Mean Donkey from the Savanah or desert or plain. "Mi Burrito Sabanero" is a Christmas song in which a boy travels to "Belen" which is Bethelehem in Spanish. He is traveling to the manger to see Jesus.

Well, sabana in Spanish means Blanket. So we always thought it was a donkey that hauls loads of blankets... Love this song!

I think that in this context sabana means savannah in English, not bedsheet. (sábana) - 0074b507, DIC 7, 2010

Sabanero sounds like the translation for cowboy. What a cowboy burrito is eludes me.They are much to big to wrap in a tortilla grin

I'll admit that if I heard someone say that, I would hear it as "burritos habaneros" red face

Maybe it's a little cowboy that rides around on a little donkey.
