Lyrics
Yanya linda duermese.
Los demas acuerdense.
Nina de Galapagos,
La devolvemos a dios.
How could I have not been there
On the brink of your despair?
How could I have been so slow
to let my little sister go?
Yanya linda duermese.
Los demas acuerdense.
Nina de Galapagos,
La devolvemos a dios.
Might have been a child of mine.
Seems we walk a fragile line.
What good did I do today?
Does it matter anyway?
Yanya linda duermese.
Los demas acuerdense.
Nina de Galapagos,
La devolvemos a dios.
