    I'm going to sleep


    Teeth of petals, cap of dew,
    hands of herbs, you dear, sweet nursemaid,
    prepare for me the earthly sheets
    and the quilt of carded moss.

    I&#;m going to sleep, my nursemaid, lay me down.
    Put a lamp on the nightstand for me;
    or a constellation, whatever you like;
    both are fine; lower it a bit.

    Leave me by myself: hear the buds breaking&#;
    rocked by a heavenly foot from above,
    and a bird draws curves before you 

    as to forget&#; Thank you. Oh, a favor:
    if he calls again
    tell him not to insist, that I have left&#;

    Voy a dormir


    Dientes de flores, cofia de rocío,
    manos de hierbas, tú, nodriza fina,
    tenme prestas las sábanas terrosas
    y el edredón de musgos escardados.

    Voy a dormir, nodriza mía, acuéstame.
    Ponme
