La Cuna de Tu Hijo

The Cradle of Your Child

La Cuna de Tu Hijo

Make with your own handsHaz con tus propias manos
The cradle of your child,La cuna de tu hijo,
Let your woman seeQue tu mujer te vea
Cutting the paradiseCortar el paraiso
To hang from the ceilingPara colgar del techo
As in the bygone daysComo en los tiempos idos
That will return one dayQue volveran un dia
Make it as I tell you.Hazla como te digo.

You will work at night,Trabajaras de noche,
Let your hammer be heard,Que se oiga tu martillo,
He is making the cradle,Esta haciendo la cuna,
Let your neighbor say,Que diga tu vecino,
Sometimes the bloodAlguna vez la sangre
Will stain your ring,Te manchara el anillo,
Let your woman wipe itQue tu mujer la enjugue
Let her stain her dress.Que manche su vestido.

The nights will be whiteLas noches seran blancas
Of swaying pine,De columpiado pino,
You will make according to the treeHaras segun el arbol
The cradle of your child,La cuna de tu niño,
So that he may have the dreamPara que tenga el sueño
In its nest hollow,En su oquedad de nido,
So that he may have the angelPara que tenga el angel
In a hidden cricket.En un oculto grillo.

The work will be yours,La obra sera tuya,
You will see that it is not the same,Veras que no es lo mismo,
It will be like your armsSera como tus brazos
The cradle of your child,La cuna de tu hijo,
It will sway with the airSe mecera con aire
You will remember the pine,Te acordaras del pino,
You will say sleep in my cradleDiras duerme en mi cuna
You will see that it is not the same.Veras que no es lo mismo.

The nights will be whiteLas noches seran blancas
Of swaying pine,De columpiado pino,
You will make according to the treeHaras segun el arbol
The cradle of your childLa cuna de tu hijo
So that he may have the dreamPara que tenga el sueño
In its nest hollow,En su oquedad de nido,
So that he may have the angelPara que tenga el angel
In a hidden cricket.En un oculto grillo.
