This, my friends, is an old Spanish lullaby,
And it's been handed down from generation to generation.
And in it, a father is singing to his baby son
And he's telling him, "Close your eyes, little one, and sleep,
And dream while the angels watch over you.
I will hold your hand,
And when you wake with the morning, I'll still be here."
You close your little eyes now
Go to sleep without fear
Dream with little angels
That look just like you.
And I will hold your hand.
Go to sleep without fear.
When you awaken,
I will be here.
Lada, da... da, da... da... da, da... da...
Lada, da... da, da... da, da...
Lada, da... da, da... da... da, da... da...
Lada da... da, da... da, da...
And I will hold your hand
Fall asleep without fear
When you awaken,
I will be here.
