Everyone knows about RudolphOur fleet-footed friend from the northWho lights Santa's way through the darknessAs he drives his sleigh back and forthBut there's someone else we should mentionIf we want the whole story toldHe carried the first gift of ChristmasMore precious than diamonds or goldNestor was a donkey who seldom laughed or played'Cause no one evey used him in the stable where he stayedAnd all the camels teased him, the other donkeys tooThey said, look at little Nestor, there's nothin' he can doLook at little Nestor, his ears hang to his kneesWhen he looks at his reflection, ears are all he seesNestor's heart was broken and his eyes were full of tearsIf only there was somethin' he could do about his earsOne dark night two strangers gave Nestor a surpriseThey chose him from all others for they loved his gentle eyesA man was called by Joseph, Mary was his brideShe needed help to Bethlehem and Nestor's back to rideThey travelled through the desert but hadn't gone too farWhen winter clouds no longer let them see their guiding starLetras de cancionesBut Nestor learned a secret as he listened to the breezeAnd the angels gave directions to the ears that touched his kneesLook at little Nestor, his ears hang to his kneesWhen he looks at his reflection, ears are all he seesNestor's heart was broken and his eyes were full of tearsIf only there was somethin' he could do about his earsAnd so it was that Nestor found the manger where they stayedWhere kings and wise men bowed before the baby where he layMary bore our Saviour and Nestor brought them thereA gift of love from God above for all the world to shareThough, Rudolph, I just love you, I know you'd want it saidNestor's ears are lovely as a reindeer's nose is redSo children, if you're happy when you trim your Christmas treesYou might thank a little donkey whose ears hung to his kneesLook at little Nestor, his ears hang to his kneesThey shouted as they praised him and his friends were all so pleasedNestor was so happy and his eyes held no more tearsNow all the world knows Nestor for his laughter and his ears From Letras Mania
