Children's Song
(Spanish)
(English)
Luna, lunita cascabelera.
Eres tan linda, tan hechicera.
Tu luz se cuela por mi ventana,
Y al yo dormirme te digo adiós (x2).
Moon, little chiming* moon
You are so pretty, so enchanting.
Your light comes in through my window,
And when I go to sleep I will tell you good-bye (x2).
Notes
* "Cascabelera" means "chiming", but it also means "deceitful" or "beguiling". These alternative meanings can also fit in here.
Comments
Maria wrote, "I'm from Puerto Rico, I know a few children's nursery rhymes. I think your web-site is wonderful. It is a great service you are providing for us parents that love to exercise such a tender tradition such as singing to a child.
The songs I know I learned as a kid, I believe they are traditional songs from the Caribbean Islands, they very well could have come to us from Spain, since Spain was our motherland for few centuries."
