A special gift for Hugo
Grandmother's rocking chair
La silla de la abuela
Grandmother's Chair
Lullaby
Slow and quiet, sung softly over a small arrangement - written to be played at bedtime.
Free to keep
OriginalTranslation
La silla de la abuelaGrandmother's chairSabe cómo se meceKnows how to rockHugo tú vas encimaHugo you are up on itY el día se adormeceAnd the day is falling asleepLa madera hace un ruidoThe wood makes a soundMuy pequeño y muy antiguoVery small and very oldHa dormido a muchos niñosIt has put many children to sleepY ahora te duerme a tiAnd now it is putting you to sleepDuerme Hugo duermeSleep Hugo sleepQue la silla sabe el modoThe chair knows the wayDuerme Hugo duermeSleep Hugo sleepLa abuela lo sabe todoGrandmother knows it allSus manos no van deprisaHer hands are never in a hurrySu canción no tiene prisaHer song is never in a hurryHugo suelta los deditosHugo let your fingers goY la tarde se hace lisaAnd the afternoon goes smoothDuerme Hugo duermeSleep Hugo sleepQue la silla sabe el modoThe chair knows the wayDuerme Hugo duermeSleep Hugo sleepLa abuela lo sabe todoGrandmother knows it all

The story behind this song
Grandmother's rocking chair creaks its familiar rhythm, the same one that has soothed every baby in the family before him.
Why this moment matters
A rocking chair that's soothed every baby in a family carries more history in its creak than most family heirlooms.
