Versione spagnola
LULLABY FOR THE DEADCanción de Cuna para Los Muertos
  
Like the sun, quenched its first morningComo el sol, saciada su primera mañana
and the moon lost to the sea,y la luna perdida en el mar;
like the chill, lost unto the morning,como el frío, perdido en la mañana
so you my love are lost to me!así, mi amor, perdido estás.
  
I can hear now the pipers callingEscucho a las gaitas llamando
on that far distant shore;en la orilla distante;
and my tears now like leaves are fallingmis lágrimas como hojas van cayendo:
and I will see your face no more!ya no veré tu cara otra vez.
  
You are sleeping, you are sleeping,Estás durmiendo, durmiendo,
Oh no sleep or peace can comfort me;oh, no hay sueño ni paz que me consuele;
I am weeping, oh I am weeping,estoy llorando, estoy llorando
tonight I will sleep and sleep with thee.esta noche dormiré y dormiré contigo.
