La Ninna Nanna in Inglese.
La nanna è uno dei momenti più delicati per un bambini e allora perché non aiutarlo ad addormentarsi con una Ninna Nanna in inglese? In inglese la Ninna Nanna si chiama “Lullaby”.
Una delle Ninna Nanne più famose è Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star (Lyrics)
Twinkle, twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you are
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky
Twinkle, twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are
When the blazing sun is gone
When he nothing shines upon
Then you show your little light
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night
Twinkle, twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you are
Un’altra Ninna Nanna molto famosa è Hush Little Baby
Hush Little Baby
Hush, little baby, don’t say a word,
Papa’s going to buy you a mockingbird.
If the mockingbird won’t sing,
Papa’s going to buy you a diamond ring.
If the diamond ring turns to brass,
Papa’s going to buy you a looking glass.
If the looking glass gets broke,
Papa’s going to buy you a billy goat.
And if that billy goat won’t pull,
Papa’s going to buy you a cart and bull.
And if that cart and bull turn over,
Papa’s going to buy you a dog named Rover.
And if that dog named Rover won’t bark,
Papa’s going to buy you a horse and cart,
And if that horse and cart fall down,
You’ll still be the sweetest baby in town.
A me piace moltissimo anche la canzone You Are My Sunshine, anche se non è propriamente una Ninna Nanna si presta molto bene allo scopo.
You Are My Sunshine (Lyrics)
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You never know, dear, how much I love you
Please don’t take my sunshine away
The other night, dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamt I held you in my arms
When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
So I hung my head, and I cried
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You never know, dear, how much I love you
Please don’t take my sunshine away
