En Brazos de Una Doncella

In the Arms of a Maiden

En Brazos de Una Doncella

In the arms of a maiden, an infant fell asleepEn brazos de una doncella, un infante se dormía
In the arms of a maiden, an infant fell asleepEn brazos de una doncella, un infante se dormía
And in its light it seemed to be born from a starY en su lumbre parecía ser nacido de una estrella
And in its light it seemed to be born from a starY en su lumbre parecía ser nacido de una estrella
