Full Title: " en el aljibe con mi camisón "


Description and mediums:

"This is a children song I loved when I was a little child, and I love it even more nowadays. It belongs to María Elena Walsh, who has unfortunately passed away on January this year, so this is my way to thank her for all the joy she bring to me with her songs and books. The original is in spanish and talks about a lady who sleep in a well with her nightie full of moths. It's obviously a charade

The lyric in spanish is:

Duermo en el aljibe
con mi camisón apolillado,
don dolón dolón,
duermo en el aljibe con mi camisón.

No son las polillas,
son diez mil estrellas que se asoman,
don dolón dolón,
por entre los pliegues de mi camisón.

Cuando sale el sol
tengo que meterme en el aljibe,
don dolón dolón,
duermo en el aljibe con mi camisón.

Cuando yo aparezco
todos duermen y la araña teje,
don dolón dolón,
salgo del aljibe con mi camisón.

A ver si adivinan,
a ver si adivinan quién es esta,
don dolón dolón
que está en el aljibe con su camisón.
