Spanish lyrics for Sleep My Little Baby

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
