Chorus:
Let your arms enfold us
Through the dark of night
Will your angels hold us
'Til we see the light?

Hush, lay down your troubled mind
The day has vanished and left us behind
And the wind whispering soft lullabies
Will soothe, so close your weary eyes

(Chorus)

Sleep, angels will watch over you
And soon beautiful dreams will come true
Can you feel spirits embracing your soul?
So dream while secrets of darkness unfold





(Chorus twice)

Lyrics of this wonderful song translated to Brazilian Portuguese

Oração

Deixe seus braços nos envolverem
Na escuridão da noite
Seus anjos vão nos segurar
- Até vermos a luz?

Calma, acalme sua mente perturbada
O dia desapareceu e nos deixou para trás
E o vento sussurrando suaves canções de ninar
Vai acalmar, então feche seus olhos cansados

Deixe seus braços nos envolverem
Na escuridão da noite
Seus anjos vão nos segurar
- Até vermos a luz?

Instrumental

Durma, os anjos vão cuidar de você
E logo belos sonhos se tornarão realidade
Você pode sentir os espíritos abraçando sua alma?
Então sonhe enquanto os segredos da escuridão se revelam

Deixe seus braços nos envolverem
Na escuridão da noite
Seus anjos vão nos segurar
- Até vermos a luz?

Deixe seus braços nos envolverem
Na escuridão da noite
Seus anjos vão nos segurar
- Até vermos a luz?

Let your arms enfold us
Through the dark of night
Will your angels hold us
Till we see the light

Hush, lay down your troubled mind
The day has vanished and left us behind
And the wind, whispering soft lullabies
Will soothe, so close your weary eyes

Let your arms enfold us
Through the dark of night
Will your angels hold us
Till we see the light

Sleep, angels will watch over you
And soon beautiful dreams will come true
Can you feel spirits embracing your soul
So dream while secrets of darkness unfold

" Una reina "
¡ Una reina bellísima;
sin trono ni diadema,
que tu no necesitas !
¡ Esa linda cabellera
con unas gotas de rocío
se adorna en diamantina !
¡ Tus ojos que tanto miro,
hacen mis labios tuyos
en dulce éxtasis mudos !

Been trying to find this song for absolutely years! Forgot the name and some how magically managed to find it tonight. Used to be one of my favorite songs around 13-14 years ago when I was 9 or 10, (2004-2005). Can't believe it's took me till the end of 2018. Brings back so many memories.
