Lyrics
Translation:
Sleep, sleep beautiful damsel
Sleep without worry or sorrow.
Sleep without worry or sorrow.
Here is your slave who only wishes
To watch over your sleep with the greatest love.
To watch over your sleep with the greatest love.
For two years my soul has been suffering
For you my jewel, my lovely lady.
For you my jewel, my lovely lady.
Listen to the sound of my guitar
Listen, my beauty, to my sad song.
Listen, my beauty, to my sad song.
