A la roro niño - Mexican Children's Songs - Mexico - Mama Lisa's World: Children's Songs and Rhymes from Around the World, Intro Image


A la roro niño
A lo roro ya
Duérmete mi niño
Duérmete mi amor.

Este niño lindo
Que nació de mañana,
Quiere que lo lleven
A pasear en carcacha.

Este niño lindo
Que nació de día
Quiere que lo lleven
A la dulcería

Este niño
Que nació de noche
Quiere que lo lleven
A pasear en coche.

Este niño lindo
Se quiere dormir,
Y el pícaro sueño
No quiere venir.

Este niño lindo
Que nació de noche
Quiere que lo lleven
A pasear en coche.

Lullaby baby
Lullaby now.
Sleep my baby,
Sleep my love.

This pretty baby
Who was born in the morning,
Wants to be taken
For a jalopy ride.

This sweet baby
Who was born during the day,
Wants to be taken
To the candy shop.

This pretty baby
Who was born at night,
Wants to be taken
For a stroller ride.

This pretty baby
Wants to sleep
But the naughty sleep
Doesn't want to come.

This pretty baby
Who was born at night,
Wants to be taken
For a stroller ride.
