Lyrics - Spanish
(Folk song from El Salvador)
Dormite, niñito, no llores chiquito,
Vendrán angelitos las sombras de noche.
Rayitos de luna, rayitos de plata,
Alumbran mi niño que está en la cuna.
Rayitos del sol, el cielo azul,
Dejan dormir y empiezan a vivir.
Dormite, niñito, con ojos de diamantes,
Estrellas brillantes florido el cielo
English Translation - Sleep little baby
Sleep, little baby, don’t cry little one,
Little angels will come in the shadows at night.
Moonbeams, silver rays,
They give birth to my child who is in the crib.
Rays of the sun, the blue sky,
They let them sleep and start living.
Sleep, little boy, with diamond eyes,
Bright stars blooming the sky
