A la nanita nana nanita ella nanita ella
Mi Jesus tiene sueno bendito sea, bendito sea
(my Jesus is sleepy blessed is he, blessed is he)
(repeat)
Fuentecita que corre clara y sonora
(little fountain that runs clear weeping singing)
Ruisenor que en la selva cantando llora
(nightingale in the jungle, singing it weeps)
Calla mientras la cuna se balansea
(hush while the cradle balances)
Ala nanita nana nanita ella
Mi Jesus tiene sueno bendito sea, bendito sea
(my Jesus is sleepy blessed is he, blessed is he)
(repeat)
Fuentecita que corre clara y sonora
(little fountain that runs clear weeping singing)
Ruisenor que en la selva cantando llora
(nightingale in the jungle, singing it weeps)
Calla mientras la cuna se balansea
