What “Duerme, Mi Estrellita” Means
Mexican lullabies often lean on gentle star and moon imagery — ‘Estrellita’ (little star) is one of the country’s best-loved cradle songs, its title alone a common term of endearment for a sleepy child. This original arrangement keeps that same tender, star-lit picture.
