Cerra tus lindos ojicos, Durme durme con savor. De las fajas tu saliras y a la skola tu iras. I'am! mi kerido hijico, aleph bet ambezaras. De la skola tu saliras y a la plaza tu iras. l'am! mi kerido hijico, mercancia ambezaras De la plaza tu saliras y a la estudio tu iras. l'am! mi kerido hijico, cockoriko saliras.
Translated lyrics
Sleep, sleep my little boy Sleep well Close your eyes Sleep well, And as you grow up You will learn the laws of our tradition UPDATE: Sleep my dear little son, sleep without worry or pain. Close your pretty eyes, sleep, sleep peacefully. You will come out of your swaddling clothes and you will go to school. Y ai y, my dear little son, you will learn your ABC. You will leave the school and you will go to the square. Y ai y, my dear little son, you will learn to be a merchant. You will leave the square you will go on to further study. Y ai y, my dear little son then you will be the best!
