Sleep Song For My Little Girl
An English-Spanish bilingual poem
Your pequeña body is tired
It needs ample descanso
We read the cuento libro
Now you sleep, my niña hija
Warm under the soft manta
Holding your pink pulpo toy
Your madre is near to watch you
No pesadilla will bother
Dream of luna and flores prado
Wake up fresh like margarita
To greet a new día
To learn more about this tierra
To spread more amor
To be more feliz.
Translation:
Your little body is tired and needs rest. We read the storybook. Now you sleep under the soft blanket, holding your toy. Your mother is near, so nightmare will not bother you.
Dream of the moon and meadow flowers. Wake up fresh like a daisy, to learn more about this earth, to spread more love, and to be happier.
