Cancion De Cuna

Your arrival brought smiles to many souls,
how many plans we've made for you,
if you only knew how many nights I've spent awake
and just as many dreaming of you by my side.

Your gaze is more intense than I ever thought,
your smile gives me innocent peace.
You haven't sinned yet, but you already know love,
welcome to your first spring.

May you have my big dreams
and the tenderness of your mother,
may you also have her image
and my thirst for life.
May God send to this earth
an angel to protect you,
so the unfairness of this world
won't hurt your existence.
Sleep peacefully... sleep little one.

I just hope my actions set an example for you
and that you grow proud of your father,
that you keep sweetly and lovingly
the moments when I was a child with you.

May you have my big dreams
and the tenderness of your mother,
may you also have her image
and my thirst for life.
May God send to this earth
an angel to protect you,
so the unfairness of this world
won't hurt your existence.
Sleep peacefully... sleep little one.
Dream easy.
