lyrics

Muñeca chiquitita granito de café
si me pides la vida, la vida te daré
bajaré de la luna, tajadas de melón
para que se te llene de luz el corazón
Muñeca chiquitita granito de café
si cierras los ojitos en sombras quedaré
entonces las estrellas tus ojitos serán
que desde el cielo lejos mirándome estarán
El canto que te canto
para hacerte dormir
mientras lo voy cantando
me va durmiendo a mí
porque también yo tengo
de niño el corazón
como tu muñequita
de entraña de algodón
(bis)
*Si te duermes te daré
dos quenepas y un pastel
lucerito de algodón
duérmete o me duermo yo!
(*Bernardo Palombo)

(singable translation)
My pretty little dolly made out of coffee grain
just ask me for my life, you won’t have to ask again
I’ll take for you a slice, of moon out of the sky
we’’ll fill our hearts with light-up
together, you and I
My pretty little dolly made out of coffee grain
if you should close your eyes, in the shadows I’ll remain
and then, when all is darkness, the only thing to see
will be your eyes like little stars looking down at me
The song that I am singing to help you go to sleep
is making me so sleepy, I cannnot stay awake
the little girl that’s living so long within my heart
gets tired like your dolly and starts to fall apart
I will give you when you wake
chocolate milk and chocolate cake
little girl within my heart
I will sleep and you’ll wake up!
(translation by: Robin Palmer)
