Nani, nani: Canción de cuna
Language: Spanish (Español)
Nani, nani, nani,
nani, nani, quere el hijo,
el hijo de la madre,
de chico se haga grande.
Ay,
ay, durmite mi alma,
durmite, mi vida,
que tu padre viene
con mucha alegría.
Ay, avrimex la puerta,
avrimex mi dama, avrimex!
Que vengo muy cansado
de arar las huertas.
Ay, la puerta yo vos avro,
que venix cansado,
y verex durmido
al hijo en la cuna.

Nani, nani: Cradle Song
Language: English after the Spanish (Español)
Nani, nani, nani,
Nani nani wants my son
Son of his mother
the boy is getting big
Ay,
Sleep my little soul
sleep my life
Your father is coming
with great joy.
Open the door
open the door my lady!
I am coming very tired
from working the land.
Yes I open the door
for you come tired
And will see you,
son, sleeping in the cradle.
