    La luna is a collection of new and classic lullabies in Spanish. La luna es una colección de canciones de cuna con ritmos andinos. Listeners will hear genres including loncomeo from Patagonia, candombe from Uruguay, huayno from the Andes and merengue from Venezuela. The songs come to life with the exquisitely performed instrumentation – soft strings of charangos, guitars, cellos and a Cuban tres; the deep boom of an ancient traditional drum (bombo leyero); and soothing and whimsical quenas and sikus (flutes and pan pipes).

lyrics

Words and music by Alex Alvear


Cuando que sol se va a dormir
Se pinta el cielo de carbón
Y de una nube va a salir
Trotando un caballito azul

Torotiqui torotac
Cabalgando sin cesar
Torotiqui torotac
El caballito azul

Si los guambritos sienten que
Sus ojos se quieren cerrar
Es porque pronto llegará
Trotando el caballito azul

Sobre su lomo viajarán
A la tierra de los sueños
Despacito trotará
El caballito azul

Torotiqui torotac
Cabalgando sin cesar
Torotiqui torotac
El caballito azul

TRANSLATION:
The Little Blue Horse

When the sun goes to sleep
The sky is colored charcoal gray
And from behind a cloud
The little blue horse comes trotting out

Torotiqui torotac
Trotting, trotting, on and on
Torotiqui torotac
The little blue horse

If the babies begin to feel
Their eyes wanting to close
It’s because soon will come trotting out
The little blue horse

On it’s back babies travel
To the land of dreams
Slowly trotting
The little blue horse

Torotiqui torotac
Trotting, trotting, on and on
Torotiqui torotac
The little blue horse
