Este niño lindo
This Sweet Baby
Canción de cuna
(Spanish)
Lullaby
(English)
Este niño lindo
Se quiere dormir
Tiéndale su cama
En el toronjil.
Toronjil de plata
Torre de marfil
Este niño lindo
Se quiere dormir.
Duérmete niñito
Que voy a lavar
Pañales de lino
Con agua de azahar.
This sweet baby
Wants to sleep,
Make his bed
In the lemon balm.
Lemon balm of silver
Tower of ivory
This sweet baby
Wants to sleep.
Sleep, baby,
For I'm going to wash
Flax diapers
With orange blossom water.
