At a lullaby workshop I was running a while back, I said that I really wish I had the Spanish lyrics for 'Sleep My Little Baby' as it was originally a Spanish song. Then a few weeks later I got a lovely email from a participant and the following lyrics, thank you Andria :)
Have fun with these everyone.

"I was a student at the Elephant Pharm a couple of weeks ago in Walnut Creek. I asked my father in law who speaks Spanish very well and he knew that song in Spanish (Sleep my little Baby). Here are the lyrics in Spanish:
I can\'t do tilde and accents so I put them after the letter. Sorry"
A la rurru nin~o
A la rurru ya
Duermete mi nin~o
Duermete ya
(chorus)
Que rurru, que rurru
que tan tin tan
Que sopas, que sopas
Para San Juan
Este nin~o lindo
Que nacio` del di`a
Quiere que lo lleven
Ir la dolceri`a
Este nin~o lindo
que nacio` de noche
Quiere que lo lleven
A pasear en coche
"I also found this verse but does not translate as closely to anything you have in your song:"
Este nin~o lindo
se quiere dormir
y el pi`caro suen~o
no quiere venir
