This song is available on Hap Palmer's A Child's World of Lullabies.
Note: in this lullaby from El Salvador, the word "dormite" is traditionally used instead of the word "duermete"
Dormite, niñito; no llores chiquito
Vendrán angelitos las sombras de noche.
Rayitos de luna, rayitos de plata
Alumbran mi niño que está en la cuna.
Rayitos del sol el cielo azul
Dejan dormir y empieza vivir.
Dormite, niñito, con ojos diamantes
Estrellas brillantes florido el cielo
Now sleep, little baby; don't cry, little darling
The angels are coming with shadows of evening
The rays of the moonlight spin fine threads of silver
To shine on my baby asleep in the cradle
The rays of the sun, the blue of the sky
Will wake you from dreams when morning is nigh
Now sleep, little baby, with eyes bright as diamonds
And brilliant as starlight that shines from the heavens
