Mother once said that you were born from the sky

That a white star came down melting the ice

Of her heart

Old father looked at the moon that night

And in the night steppe he wrote with knives

Ah, this prayer

Girl of the Dunes, sleep peacefully

You carry a divine mark on your forehead

Girl of the Dunes, don't be afraid

I'll be with you in your dark flight

And, sand of my clock, you'll return to the earth

Where the water shaped you, never again will iron

Be your prison

Girl of the Dunes, sleep peacefully

You carry a divine mark on your forehead

Girl of the Dunes, don't be afraid

I'll be with you in your dark flight

Le-le-le-le-le-le, le-le-le-le-le-le

Le-le-le-le-le-le, le-le-le-le-le-le-le

Le-le-le-le-le-le, le-le-le-le-le-le

Le-le-le-le-le-le, le-le-le-le-le-le-le

The moon turned into a knife and stabbed itself in her chest

Staining her cotton dress blood-red

With it she was taken, close, her companion

Some call her Venus thinking that she's a star

Le-le-le-le-le-le-le, le-le-le-le-le-le-le

Le-le-le-le-le-le, le-le-le-le-le-le

Le-le-le-le-le-le, le-le-le-le-le-le-le

Le-le-le-le-le-le-le-le

Le-le-le-le-le-le

Girl of the Dunes, sleep peacefully

You carry a divine mark on your forehead

Girl of the Dunes, don't be afraid

I'll be with you in your dark flight

SONG MEANING

Niña De Las Dunas feels like a cosmic flamenco lullaby. María José Llergo imagines a little girl sculpted by water, delivered by a falling star and cradled by the endless desert night. Her parents, awestruck, carve prayers into the sand and promise protection while the chorus whispers a soothing mantra: “Duerme tranquila… no tengas miedo.” The dunes, the moon and the ticking sand of an hourglass paint a dreamy landscape where nature itself safeguards the child’s innocence.

Mid-song, the moon turns into a knife, drawing blood and plunging the story into myth. Yet the girl transcends pain and rises with Venus, the bright “star” that closes the nocturnal tale. Ultimately the lyrics celebrate rebirth, courage and the idea that every dark flight can lead to luminous freedom—reminding us that within each of us lives a celestial child marked for something greater than fear.
