SPANISH -
1 Duermete, Niño lindo,
en los brazos del amor
mientras que duerme y descansa
la pena de mi dolor.
Refrain:
A la ru, a la mé,
a la ru, a la mé,
a la ru, a la mé,
a la ru, a la ru,
a la mé.
2 No temas al rey Herodes
que nada te ha de hacer;
en los brazos de tu madre
y ahi’ nadie te ha de ofender. [Refrain]
---
1 Oh, sleep now, holy baby,
with your head against my breast;
meanwhile the pangs of my sorrow
are soothed and put to rest. [Refrain]
2 You need not fear King Herod,
he will bring no harm to you;
so rest in the arms of your mother
who sings you a la ru. [Refrain]
