Un lugar en tu almohada [English translation]

Make room for me on your pillow,

beside your chest I will rest

Make room for me on your pillow,

I will sing, so you can sleep

Make room for me on your pillow,

beside your chest I will rest

Make room for me on your pillow,

I will sing, so you can sleep

A lullaby,

a waltz from Tacuarembó*

will carry you in a cloud

if I don't fall sleep before you

There is a spot on your hair

from which I will put perfume on me

There is a spot on your hair,

on the pillow, waiting for me

There is a spot on your hair

from which I will put perfume on me

There is a spot on your hair,

on the pillow, waiting for me

A blue waterfall

like the shadow of the jarandá **

I will get closer to your cheeks

so I can listen to you breathing.
