| La farolera tropezó, en la calle se cayó, y al pasar por un cuartel se enamoró de un coronel. Alcen las banderas para que pase la farolera de la puerta del sol, sube la escalera y enciende el farol, a la media noche me puse a contar y todas las cuentas me salieron mal. Dos y dos son cuatro, cuatro y dos son seis, seis y dos son ocho y ocho dieciséis y ocho veinticuatro y ocho treinta y dos, ánima bendita me arrodillo en vos. *** The lamplightress stumbled, She fell down in the street, As she passed by some barracks She fell in love with a colonel. Raise up the flags So she can pass, the lamplightress From the Gate of the Sun. She goes up the ladder and lights the light, At midnight, I started to reckon But the reckonings went wrong. Two and two are four, Four and two are six, Six and two are eight, and eight sixteen And eight twenty-four And eight thirty-two Blessed soul, I kneel down before you. |

| Duérmete mi niño, duérmete mi amor Duérmete pedazo de mi corazón, que tengo que hacer, lavar tus pañales sentarme a coser Ese niño quiere que lo duerma yo, dormir en mis brazos y en mi corazón. *** Sleep, my child, sleep my love, Sleep, piece of my heart, For I have things to do, To wash your nappies, sit down to sew... This child wants me to lull him, To sleep in my arms and on my heart. |
