Mexican Lullaby
My grandfather always sang this one to me:
Mira la luna
Comiendo su tuna;
Echando las cáscaras
En la laguna.
Aquel caracol
que va por el sol
en cada ramita
llevaba una flor
que viva la gala
que viva el amor
que viva la concha
de aquel caracol.
. . .
and while we're on the subject of the moon.... Luz de luna

That sounds pretty but I would love to hear it with a tune or music. Are there any other Spanish lullabies that you know of?

I have been looking for the second verse of mira la lund for more than 60 years. Different as I just remember the 1st line of the second verse. "mira el sol con su caracol"

My grandfather sometimes started the second verse like that...
Mira el sol
con su caracol
en cada ramita...
