A special gift for Sofía
Sofía
Sleeping in a hammock on the terrace
La hamaca de Sofía
Sofia's Hammock
Lullaby
Slow and quiet, sung softly over a small arrangement - written to be played at bedtime.
Free to keep
OriginalTranslation
Sofía duerme en la hamacaSofia sleeps in the hammockLa tarde se mece lentoThe afternoon rocks slowlyEl aire mueve la redThe air moves the nettingY el patio se queda quietoAnd the courtyard stays stillLa buganvilla da sombraThe bougainvillea gives shadeUn pájaro canta bajoA bird sings lowTus manos sueltan la mantaYour hands let go of the blanketY el sueño te va ganandoAnd sleep is winning you overDuerme mi Sofía duermeSleep my Sofia sleepLa tarde te va cuidandoThe afternoon is taking care of youDuerme mi Sofía duermeSleep my Sofia sleepMamá te está acunandoMama is rocking youEl sol se esconde en el muroThe sun hides behind the wallLos grillos empiezan cantosThe crickets begin their songsLa hamaca te dice algoThe hammock is telling you somethingMuy bajito muy despacioVery softly very slowlyDuerme mi Sofía duermeSleep my Sofia sleepLa tarde te va cuidandoThe afternoon is taking care of youDuerme mi Sofía duermeSleep my Sofia sleepMamá te está acunandoMama is rocking you

The story behind this song
The terrace hammock rocks her slowly in the afternoon warmth, the whole garden going quiet around her nap.
Why this moment matters
A whole garden going quiet around one sleeping child is a small, temporary kind of magic that happens more often than anyone notices.
