| | About Duerme Negrito | Jul 26, 2015 |
Wonderful post Clarisa. I only now have seen the forum. Duerme negrito and Drumi, Mobila might be from two different sources. To start with Bola de Nieve sang both versions. Duerme Negrito was first written down and put to music by Ernesto Grenet in Cuba in the 1930's. Bola de Nieve himself wrote Drumi, Mobila in 1938 in Ramón Guirao's book "Orbita de la poesía afrocubana, 1928-37: antología", published by Ucar, García y Cía in Havana.

Bola de Nieve himself wrote Drumi, Mobila in 1938 in Ramón Guirao's book "Orbita de la poesía afrocubana, 1928-37: antología", published by Ucar, García y Cía in Havana. Although neither Ernesto Grenet nor Bola de Nieve attributed the songs to anyone else they could very well be based on popular lullabies from 19th century Havana. Drumi, Mobia is in Bozal, a historic afrocuban Spanish-based creole language that seems at least partly influenced by my native Papiamentu language from Curaçao, also in the Caribbean. By the time Atahualpa collected the song on the Venezuelan-Colombian border it could have been brought from Cuba or Mexico, either from one of the versions from Bola de Nieve or Grenet (both were successful hits in Cuba and Mexico before Atahualpa collected it) or from popular versions sung by migrants from Cuba. ▲ Collapse

| The one I used to sing to my daughter | Jul 26, 2015 |
It's Russian, from the popular and beloved children's TV show Спокойной ночи, малыши! / Good Night, Little Ones!:

Спят усталые игрушки, книжки спят,
Одеяла и подушки ждут ребят.
Даже сказка спать ложится,
Чтобы ночью нам присниться,
Ты ей пожелай: баю-бай
В сказке можно покататься на Луне
И по радуге промчаться на коне.
Со слонёнком подружиться
И поймать перо жар-птицы.
Глазки закрывай, баю-бай.
Баю-бай, должны все люди ночью спать,
Баю-баю, завтра будет день опять.
За день мы устали очень,
Скажем всем: «Спокойной ночи!»,
Глазки закрывай, баю-бай.
In English:
The tired toys are sleeping,
And books are sleeping too,
The blankets and the pillows
Are waiting for you.
Even the Fairy tale is going to bed,
So she can visit us in our dreams.
Let's wish her sweet dreams.
Baju- Baj
In a fairy tale you can ride the Moon
And rush over the rainbow on horseback,
You can make friends with a baby elephant,
And catch a Fire-bird's feather,
Close your eyes,
Baju-baj...
Baju-baj, everybody has to sleep at night
Baju-baj, tomorrow will be a new day,
Now we are very tired,
Let's say "Good night" to everyone.
Close your eyes,
Baju-baj... ▲ Collapse

I guess this is the most famous lullaby in Italy
Ninna nanna, ninna oh,
questo bimbo a chi lo dò?
Lo darò alla Befana
Che lo tiene una settimana
Lo darò all'Uomo Nero
Che lo tiene un anno intero
Lo darò all'Uomo Bianco
Che lo tiene finché è stanco
Lo darò alla sua mamma
Che lo mette a far la nanna!

Доўгі дзень,
Цёплы дзень
Адплывае за аблокі.
Сіні цень,
Сонны цень
Адпаўзае ў кут далёкі.
Збеглі зайкі ўсе ў лясы.
Змоўклі птушак галасы.
І буслы ў гняздо схавалі
Свае доўгія насы.
Прыпеў:
Баю-бай, баю-бай,
Вачаняты закрывай. (2 разы)
Пакрысе
На расе
Патухаюць зоркі-сплюшкі.
Гулі ўсе,
Казкі ўсе
Пахаваны пад падушкі.
Спяць і мышкі і стрыжы.
Спяць машыны ў гаражы
Ты таксама
Каля мамы
Ціха-ціхенька ляжы.
