Original text and translations

Spanish text Ayreçillos manços, passo quedito, que duerme el niño, y le bastan los ayres de sus suspiros. No me le recuerde el ayre el amor que esta dormido, que quando esta el sol en calma, no soplan los ayreçillos. Pareçe el nevado sierco, porque esta desnudo el niño, y aun jasmin el maltratarle es ayrozo desatino. Dexen que el amor descançe, pareçe el zephiro frio, que aun ayre leve despierte un cuidadozo dormido.

English translation Gentle light winds, go very sweetly because the child sleeps, and the breath of his sighs suffices for him. May the wind not awaken the love that is dozing off: when the sun is resting, even light winds do not blow. The breeze seems cold as snow, for the child is naked, and even an airy whiff of jasmine could injure him. Let love rest; the zephyr seems cold, for even a soft wind awakens one who sleeps lightly.
