Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Santa noche de paz
Entre sueños de rosas
Duerme niño, duerme amor
Bajo el tibio cobertor

Si Dios quiere mañana
Otra vez despertarás
Si Dios quiere mañana

Otra vez despertarás

Santa noche de paz
Que los ángeles guardan
Mostrando en sueños
El árbol de navidad

Duerme, duerme feliz
Duerme, duerme tranquilo
Y en tus sueños verás
El paraíso

Duerme, duerme feliz
Duerme, duerme tranquilo
Y en tus sueños verás

El paraíso, el paraíso
Uh uh uuh
