Composer’s Notes

I dedicate this work to all children who have fallen victim to gun violence. Now more than ever, we need to work together to raise our voices in the name of justice. Our children need society to step up and advocate for a kinder world. Through this song, I hope the community connects with others and starts conversations on how we can help create a safe world for our children.

Text

A la nanita nana, nanita ea, nanita ea, mi niña tiene sueño, bendita sea, bendito sea.
A la nanita nana, nanita ea, nanita ea, mi niño tiene sueño, bendito sea, bendita sea.

Mi niña tiene sueño . Mi niño tiene sueño .
Mi niña sueña Mi niño sueña
Mi niña…

nightingale that cries singing in the jungle,
they are silent while the cradle rocks, a la nanita nana, nanita ea.
My girl is sleepy. My boy is sleepy.
My girl is dreaming My boy is dreaming
My girl…
