Pimpollo de canela,                               A beautiful child with tanned skin like
lirio en capullo,                                    a budding lilly
duérmete vida mia,                             sleep my child
mientras te arrullo.                             while I cradle you.
Duérmete que del alma,                      Sleep, because from my soul
mi canto brota                                    this song is born.
q'un deliquio de amores                       Of a great love
esta dan nota.                                    this song speaks.
O niño cuyos ojos                                O child in whose eyes
el sol fulgura                                       the sun shines,
cerrad hacia acercarme                       close them when I come near you
en noche oscura.                                on this dark night
Pero cierra bien mí                             Close, my love,
los ojos bellos                                     your beautiful eyes,
aunque tu madre muera                    although your mother may perish
sin verse en ellos.                              without looking into them

Fuentecilla que corres                        Spring that runs
Clara y Sonora                                  clear and melodius,
Ruiseñor q'en la selva                          nightengale that in the forest
Cantando lloras,                               cries while you sing
Callad mientras la cuna                     quiet while the cradle
Se balancea.                                     rocks.
A la ninita nana, nanita ea, ea.          A la nanita nana, nanita ea, ea.
