1 Oh, sleep now, holy baby,
with your head against my breast:
Meanwhile the pangs of my sorrow
are soothed and put to rest.

Refrain:
A la ru, a la me,
a la ru, a la me,
a la ru, a la me,
a la ru, a la ru, a la me,

2 You need not fear King Herod,
He will bring no harm to you;
so rest in the arms of your mother
who sings you a la ru. Refrain

Duérmete, Niño lindo,
en los brazos del amore
mientras que duerme y descansa
la pena de mi dolor. Refrain

No temas al rey Herodes
que nada te ha de hacer;
en los brazos de tu madre
y ahí nadie te ha de ofender. Refrain
