A la nanita nana nanita ella nanita ella
Mi niña tiene sueno bendito sea, bendito sea


Fuentecita que corre clara y sonora
Ruiseñor que en la selva cantando llora
Calla mientras la cuna se balansea
A la nanita nana, nanita ella

A la nanita nana nanita ella nanita ella
Mi niña tiene sueno bendito sea, bendito sea

Fuentecita que corre clara y sonora
Ruiseñor que en la selva cantando llora
Calla mientras la cuna se balansea
A la nanita nana, nanita ella

It is not easy to translate. This is a lullaby and as such the language is somewhat vague. Nana (nanita is a diminutive meaning a small nana) can mean many things. To me it means either lullaby or grandmother, although I think it can mean any older woman who takes care of a small child. Therefore the first line can be translated any number of ways having to do with grandmothers, caretakers, lullabies or a combination. From there

My baby girl is sleepy, blessed be, blessed be

Little fountain that runs clear and resonant (with sound)
Nightingale that cries singing in the forest
Goes quite while the cradle rocks
To the lullaby of the grandmother (again this is how I would translate this line with nana and nanita although it could mean any number of things)

and then it repeats. Its a lovely lullaby.

There is no translation from Spanish to english. It is perfectly clear.
Now, if you want this song in english, so sorry, but it would totally lose its beauty. It would be like destroying a beautiful flower that blooms at dawn. It would be a crime against Nature and against God.
Have you ever thought of a translation of "Annabel Lee" or "The Raven" to a different language ?
I don't know about you but just the thought gives me chills
