Estrellita​
Little star from the distant sky
That watches my pain
That knows my suffering
Come down and tell me if you like me a little
Because I can't live without your love
You are, Little star, my beacon of love
You know that I will soon die
Come down and tell me if you like me a little
Because I can't live without your love

Manuel de Falla - ​Nana
Nana
Sleep, little one, sleep,
sleep, my darling, sleep, my little morning star.
Lullay, lullay,

Tohru Takemitsu/Syuntaro Tanigawa/
arr. Tony Wardzinski  - Mi Yo Ta
Mi Yo Ta
While I bathe in the glittering sunlight, I feel your presence. With the blue sky behind you, I smile at the memories— even if I know
The joy of those days will never come back.
When I sing the melody you left behind,
Our stories come back to life, and I feel your warmth.
I don’t want to forget, I can’t let go of my memories of you.
So our memories will live on forever,
just as the sun rises each day.
