Que la noche ya llegó
Y cierra tus ojos que yo
De tus sueños cuidaré
Siempre a tu lado estaré
Y tu guardián yo seré
Si un día te sientes mal
Yo de bien te llenaré
Y aunque muy lejos tú estés
Yo a tu sombra cuidaré
Siempre a tu lado estaré
Y tu guardián yo seré
Toda la vida
Esta noche
Te prometo que no vendrán
Ni dragones ni fantasmas a molestar
Y en la puerta de tus sueños yo voy a estar
Hasta que tus ojos vuelvan a abrir
Duérmete mi amor sueña con mi voz
Duérmete mi amor hasta que salga el sol
Duérmete mi amor sueña con mi voz
Duérmete mi amor que aquí estaré yo
Esta noche
Te prometo que no vendrán
Ni dragones ni fantasmas a molestar
Y en la puerta de tus sueños yo voy a estar
Hasta que tus ojos vuelvan a abrir
Duérmete mi amor sueña con mi voz
Duérmete mi amor hasta que salga el sol
Duérmete mi amor sueña con mi voz
Duérmete mi amor que aquí estaré yo
