Lyrics

Español

¡Duerme mi niña!... Que los ángeles tu sueño velarán. ¡Sueña mi vida!... Tú también eres un ángel celestial. Si mañana no me encuentras Junto a ti al despertar, Mira al cielo, corazón y me verás. ¡Duerme mi niña!... Que los ángeles tu sueño velarán. Tú, tal vez no puedas comprender, Aún, tal vez, No sepas de resignación, ni paz; Pero al fin, cuando te diga la verdad, Sabrás lo mucho que te amé Y entonces te consolará, Dios; No, no quiero que me llores, no. Adiós, mi bien, Nunca te olvides de rogar por mí, Pero qué... Qué estoy diciendo de partir, Dónde hallaré felicidad, sin ti. Coda: ¡Duerme mi niña!... Que los ángeles tu sueño velarán...

English · machine translation

Sleep my child!... May the angels watch over your sleep. Dream my life!... You too are a heavenly angel. If tomorrow you don't find me I'll be with you when you wake up, Look up to heaven, my heart, and you will see me. Sleep my child! That the angels will watch over your sleep. You, perhaps, cannot understand, Yet, perhaps, You may not know resignation, nor peace; But at last, when I tell you the truth, You'll know how much I loved you And then you will be comforted, God; No, I don't want you to weep for me, no. Farewell, my good, Never forget to pray for me, But what... What am I saying about leaving, Where will I find happiness, without you. Coda: Sleep my child!... That the angels will watch over your sleep...
