Mientras duerme mi niña
Language: Spanish (Español)
Mientras duerme mi niña, Céfiro alegre, Sopla mas quedito No la recuerdes. Sopla, manso viento, Al sueño suave Que enseña á ser grave Con su movimiento: Dale el dulce aliento, Que entre perlas finas A gozar caminas Y ufano te vuelves: Sopla mas quedito No la recuerdes. Mira no despierte Del sueño que duerme Que temo que el verme Causará mi muerte: ¡Dichosa tal suerte! ¡Venturosa estrella! Si á niña tan bella Alentar mereces, Sopla mas quedito No la recuerdes.
