Lyrics - Spanish
(Folk song from Puerto Rico)
Duérmase ricura, duérmase mi niño,
Que los angelitos mirándote están,
Duérmase ricura, duérmase mi niño,
Que la noche obscura, duérmase ricura.
English Translation - Sleep sweetheart
Go to sleep, sweetheart, go to sleep my child,
The little angels are watching you,
Go to sleep, sweetheart, go to sleep my child,
May the dark night, go to sleep, sweetheart.
