Spanish Lullabies

Traditional songs to sing your little one to sleep — with lyrics, translations, meanings and easy chords.

Spanish lullabies — nanas or canciones de cuna — travelled further than almost any others: born in Spain, the tradition crossed the ocean with sailors and settlers and lives on today across Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, and beyond, each country adding its own nickname for the sleepy child (catracho in Honduras, cipotillo in El Salvador, coquisito in Puerto Rico). Below are 15 traditional and original Spanish-language lullabies from across the Spanish-speaking world, each with the original Spanish lyrics, an English translation, the meaning behind the song, and simple guitar and piano chords.
