Paroles et traduction Marta Gómez - Dormite

Dormite

Hace un ratote que canto
Y no logro adormecerte
Porque grandotes tenés esos ojos
Y tarda pa' que se cierren
Dormite por Dios dormite
Y hacele caso a tu mamá
Dormite por Dios dormite
Y hacele caso a tu mamá
Mi tía ya me contó
Que siendo vos tan chiquito
En un pris-pras te soltaste la mano
Para ir gateando hasta el río
Que destapaste un canasto
Y juntaste con la ropa
Todo el arroz, el pescao y el revuelto
Que ella le iba a echa' a la sopa
Dormite, por Dios dormite
Hacele caso a tu mamá
Dormite por Dios dormite,
Hacele caso a tu mamá
Yo no voy a llamar al coco,
Ni al diablo pa' que te asuste
Lo que quiero es que sonrías
Mi negrito lindo
Y tus pestañas se junten
Claro que pa' que se junten,
Oíme pues
Falta como medio rato
Dormite por Dios dormite,
Mañana tengo trabajo
Dormite por Dios dormite,
Mañana tengo trabajo
De ir a la mina, cortar leña, sembrar, recoger racimo'
Pescar y luego ir a vende' al mercado, caramba
Yo estoy cansada mi niño
Eh! Al fin cerraste los ojos, ahora dormí hasta mañana
Yo sé que vos me entendiste,
Vos sos un rey pa' tu mama
Yo se que vos me entendiste,
Vos sos un rey pa' tu mama
Pa tu mama sos un rey, vos sos mi rey
Vos sos un rey pa' tu mama
Yo sé que vos a yo me entendiste
Vos sos un rey pa' tu mama
Yo sé que vos a yo me entendiste
Vos sos un rey pa' tu mama

Sleep

I've been singing for a while now,
And I still can't get you to sleep.
Because your eyes are so big,
And it takes them forever to close.
Sleep, for God's sake, sleep,
And listen to your mother.
Sleep, for God's sake, sleep,
And listen to your mother.
My aunt has already told me,
That when you were a little baby,
In a flash, you let go of my hand,
To crawl to the river.
That you uncovered a basket,
And mixed all the clothes
With the rice, the fish, and the stew,
That she was going to put in the soup.
Sleep, for God's sake, sleep,
Listen to your mother.
Sleep, for God's sake, sleep,
Listen to your mother.
I'm not going to call the boogeyman,
Or the devil to scare you.
I just want you to smile,
My sweet little boy.
And for your eyelashes to meet.
Of course, for them to meet,
Listen to me,
It will be a while.
Sleep, for God's sake, sleep,
I have to work tomorrow.
Sleep, for God's sake, sleep,
I have to work tomorrow.
To go to the mine, chop wood, sow, pick grapes,
Fish and then go to sell at the market, dammit.
I'm tired, my boy.
Ah! You finally closed your eyes, now sleep until tomorrow.
I know you understand me,
You are a king to your mother.
I know you understand me,
You are a king to your mother.
You are a king to your mother, you are my king.
You are a king to your mother.
I know you understand me.
You are a king to your mother.
I know you understand me.
You are a king to your mother.
