Song Information:
This is a Spanish version of Sleep, Baby, Sleep. It is a gift to my son-in-law Elias' parents who live in Segovia, Spain. As I only know a handful of Spanish words and phrases, I required a lot of coaching from my son Brian and son-in-law Elas. Please forgive my Midwestern United States English "accent".
This song came to my brother Chris in a dream about a year ago. He sent me the English lyrics and an a cappella draft sung into a pinhole mic on his Windows PC. I took it from there. The English version was presented at Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve 2004 -- its world premiere!

Song Lyrics:
Spanish Lyrics:
Duerme, nino, duerme
la noche es magica.
Duerme, nino, duerme
que tu madre te abraza.
Criatura, tan pequena,
Echado en tan simple cuna.
Duerme, nino, duerme.
Los angeles te guardan.
Duerme, nino, duerme.
Los angeles te cantan
Duerme, nino, duerme
bajo la luna de plata.
Reyes y pastores de muy alla
vienen al ver la estrella brillar.
Duerme, nino, duerme
Los angeles te guardan.
Duerme, nino, duerme
bajo el cielo estrellado.
Duerme, nino, duerme
a la nana que Mara ha cantado.
Has venido a salvarnos a todos,
Pequeno Jesus, oh Dios,
Duerme, nino, duerme.
Ahhh...
Original English lyrics:
Sleep, Baby, sleep
on this magic night.
Sleep, Baby, sleep
while Mother holds you tight.
Little baby, so so small,
lying in that humble stall.
So sleep, Baby, sleep
while angels watch they keep.
Sleep, Baby, sleep
while angels hum a tune.
Sleep, Baby, sleep
beneath the golden moon.
Kings and shepherds see the star
and come to visit from afar.
So sleep, Baby, sleep
while angels watch they keep.
Sleep, Baby, sleep
beneath the starry sky.
Sleep, Baby, sleep
to Mary's lullaby.
You have come to save us all,
little Jesus, so so small.
So sleep, Baby, sleep.
