Corderito blanco de durmiendo estás,
Déjate, bien mío, déjate arrullar.
Si te duermes amor mio,
Yo te quiero despertar,
pues vinieron desde Oriente
los tres Reyes a adorar.
No te duermas, mi vida;
no te duermas, mi cielo;
arrorró, que te arrullo yo.

Little white lamb
Language: English after the Spanish (Español)
Chosen for Diff
Little white lamb, you are sleeping,
Let yourself, my good one, let yourself be lulled.
If you fall asleep my love,
I want to wake you up,
for the three Kings came
from the East to worship [the Christ Child].
Don't fall asleep, my love;
don't fall asleep, my heavenly one;
Sleep now, let me lull you.
