Niña de las Dunas
María José Llergo
Dune Girl
Mother once said you were born from the sky
That a white star came down melting the ice
From her heart
Old father looked at the Moon that night
And in the nocturnal steppe he wrote with knives
Oh, this prayer
Girl of the Dunes, sleep peacefully
You carry a divine mark on your forehead
Girl of the Dunes, don't be afraid
I'll be with you on your dark flight
And the sand from my watch, you'll return to the earth
Where the water shaped you, never again will iron
Be your prison
Girl of the Dunes, sleep peacefully
You carry a divine mark on your forehead
Girl of the Dunes, don't be afraid
I'll be with you on your dark flight
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la
The Moon turned into a knife and pierced her chest
Staining her cotton dress with red blood
With her, 'laito, her companion
Some call her Venus thinking she's a star
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
Girl of the Dunes, sleep peacefully
You carry a divine mark on your forehead
Girl of the Dunes, don't be afraid
I'll be with you on your dark flight
