This song is haunting, and the video is lovely as well. Perdóneme, but do you know the lyrics to this version of the song? At some point, it sounds like they are singing “durme con sabor.” Could that be right?
Durme durme hermozo ixico
Durme durme sin ansia ni dolor
Cerra tus lindos oxicos
Durme durme con sabor … seems to be this version. Because tomorrow is Hebrew School … I’ll have to listen closely, or do lyrics search, to find out the rest.
Someone I know has just died too young and that is why I am playing this song. I’ve also heard (and am more familiar with) a less interesting but still pretty version:
Durme durme hermoza donzela
Durme durme sin ansia ni dolor
Durme durme sin ansia ni dolor
Hec tu esclavo con ardor dezea
Ver tu suenho con grande amor
Ver tu suenho con grande amor
Hoy dos anhos que sufre mi alma
Por ti hermoza, mi linda dama
Por ti hermoza, mi linda dama.
Durme durme izhiko de Madre
Durme durme sin ansia y dolor
Sienti joya palavrikas de tu Madre
Las palavras di Shema Yisrael
Durme durme izhiko de Madre
Con ermozura de Shema Yisrael
*The words of The “Shema Yisrael” (Hear O Israel, The Lord Is Our God, The Lord Is One!)

Sleep, sleep my little one, sleep well.
Close your lustrous eyes and sleep.
When you wake you will study Torah.

Here’s the Bosnian version from Tanja Solnik:
Durme durme izhiko de Madre
Durme durme sin ansia y dolor
Sienti joya palavrikas de tu Madre
Las palavras di Shema Yisrael
Durme durme izhiko de Madre
Con ermozura de Shema Yisrael

Thank you. I was just wondering if I was hearing right. But extra information is always good.
