A special gift for Diego
Falling asleep to the sea outside
Diego y el mar
Diego and the Sea
Lullaby
Slow and quiet, sung softly over a small arrangement - written to be played at bedtime.
Free to keep
OriginalTranslation
Diego se oye la olaDiego you can hear the waveQue llega y se va otra vezIt arrives and goes againLa casa está junto al aguaThe house is right beside the waterY el agua te va a mecerAnd the water will rock youLa sal se queda en la ventanaThe salt stays on the windowLa arena duerme tambiénThe sand is sleeping tooUn barco pasa despacioA boat goes slowly pastCon una luz que no vesWith a light you cannot seeDuerme Diego duermeSleep Diego sleepQue el mar te está cantandoThe sea is singing to youDuerme Diego duermeSleep Diego sleepLa ola te va acunandoThe wave is cradling youNo hay prisa en la mareaThere is no hurry in the tideNo hay prisa en el relojThere is no hurry in the clockLa noche viene despacioThe night comes on slowlyY trae tu respiraciónAnd brings your breathing with itDuerme Diego duermeSleep Diego sleepQue el mar te está cantandoThe sea is singing to youDuerme Diego duermeSleep Diego sleepLa ola te va acunandoThe wave is cradling you
Lullaby

The story behind this song
The sea keeps turning over outside the window, steady enough to carry him under before the tide even changes.
Why this moment matters
The sound of the sea doing the same thing it's always done is exactly the kind of steadiness that helps a small person let go and sleep.
