Ea La Nana
Lunacreciente Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴Pajarito que cantas
En la laguna
Canción de cuna
No despiertes al niño
Que está en la cuna

Ea la nana
Ea la nana

Duérmete lucerito de la mañana

A dormir va la rosa de los rosales
A dormir va mi niño porque ya es tarde

Ea la nana
Ea la nana
Duérmete lucerito de la mañana

Pajarito que cantas junto a la fuente
Cállate que mi niño no se despierte

Ea la nana

Ea la nana
Duérmete lucerito de la mañana

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Lunacreciente's song "Ea La Nana" tell the story of a mother, trying to put her child to sleep while the birds are singing their lullabies. She asks the little bird to stop singing because she doesn't want to wake the baby up. The repetitive chorus, "Ea la nana," is an encouragement to her child to fall asleep. She mentions that it's getting late, and even the rosebushes are going to sleep. The mother wants the child to sleep peacefully so that he can wake up refreshed and delighted like the "lucerito de la mañana" or the "little morning star." Finally, she pleads with the bird again to be quiet and let her child sleep.

The song's lyrics are simple and sweet and evoke the tender image of a mother caring for her child. The poetic repetition of "Ea la nana" adds to the song's rhythmic quality and creates a comforting, almost hypnotic effect that lulls the listener into a relaxed state. The imagery of nature, with the bird singing, and roses and fountains, further enhances the feeling of serenity.
