Hazme un lugar en tu almohada
Make a place for me on your pillow
Junto a tu pecho me calmaré
Next to your chest, I'll find calm
Hazme un lugar en tu almohada
Make a place for me on your pillow
Para que duermas, te cantaré
So that you can sleep, I will sing to you
Hazme un lugar en tu almohada
Make a place for me on your pillow
Junto a tu pecho descansaré
Next to your chest, I will rest
Hazme un lugar en tu almohada
Make a place for me on your pillow
Para que duermas, yo te cantaré
So that you can sleep, I will sing to you
Una canción de cuna
A lullaby
Un valsecito de Tacuarembó
A little waltz from Tacuarembó
Te irá llevando en una nube
It will carry you on a cloud
Si no me duermo antes yo
If I don't fall asleep first
Hay un rincón de tu pelo
There's a corner of your hair
En el que yo me perfumaré
Where I will perfume myself
Hay un rincón de tu pelo
There's a corner of your hair
Sobre la almohada esperándome
On the pillow waiting for me
Hay un rincón de tu pelo
There's a corner of your hair
En el que me perfumaré
Where I will perfume myself
Hay un rincón de tu pelo
There's a corner of your hair
Sobre la almohada esperándome
On the pillow waiting for me
Una cascada azul
A blue waterfall
Como la sombra de un jacarandá
Like the shadow of a jacaranda tree
Me iré acercando a tu mejilla
I will draw close to your cheek
Para escucharte respirar, oh oh
To hear you breathe, oh oh
Hazme un lugar en tu almohada
Make a place for me on your pillow
Junto a tu pecho me calmaré
Next to your chest, I'll find calm
Hazme un lugar en tu almohada
Make a place for me on your pillow
Para que duermas, yo te cantaré
So that you can sleep, I will sing to you
Hazme un lugar en tu almohada
Make a place for me on your pillow
Junto a tu pecho descansaré
Next to your chest, I will rest
Hazme un lugar en tu almohada
Make a place for me on your pillow
Para que duermas, te cantaré
So that you can sleep, I will sing to you
Una canción de cuna
A lullaby
Un valsecito de Tacuarembó
A little waltz from Tacuarembó
Te irá llevando en una nube
It will carry you on a cloud
Si no me duermo antes yo
If I don't fall asleep first
Te irá llevando en una nube
It will carry you on a cloud
Si no me duermo antes yo
If I don't fall asleep first
Te irá llevando en una nube
It will carry you on a cloud
Si no me duermo antes yo
If I don't fall asleep first
