A LA NANITA NANA SONG HISTORY

2011-11-12T23:16:00.000-08:00

A La Nanita Nana

song art: William Bouguereau detail from "Song of the Angels"

http://www.macjams.com/song/15072
This is a traditional Spanish carol--a 'nana,' or lullaby--to the Christ child. A la nanita nana is actually an Ecuadorian villancico (Christmas carol) by Segundo Cueva Celi a celebrated composer from the city of Loja.

http://wiki.answers.com/Q/A_la_nanita_nana#ixzz1dYfW5fEV

The change from minor to a major key is a common and distinctive device (making the song a very notable one, and interesting to the ear) in Hispanic folk songs, with the phrase "a la nanita nana" (A la nanita nana, nanita ea, nanita ea means "Sleep, sleep my little Jesus, May peace attend Thee, may peace attend Thee.") a soothing refrain similar to "lullaby, lullaby" in English.

Lyrics by Cueva Celi, Segundo

Chorus:

A la nanita nana, nanita ea, nanita ea,
Mi Jesus Tiene Sueño, bendito sea,
bendito sea.

Fuentecella que corres clara y sonora
Ruiseño en la selva cantando lloras
Callad mientras la cuna se balancea
A la nanita nana, nanita ea, nanita ea.

(Chorus)

Manojito de rosas y de alelies
¿Que es lo que estas soñando que te sonr?
cuales son tus sueños, dilo alma mia mas,
¿Que es lo que murmuras? Eucarista.

(Chorus)

Pajaritos y fuentes, auras y brisas
Respetad ese sueño y esas sonrisas
Callad mientras la cuna se balancea
Que el niño esta soñando, bendito sea.

(Chorus).

English Lyrics by Norman Luboff

A la nanita nana, nanita ea, nanita ea,
Sleep, sleep my little Jesus,
May peace attend Thee, may peace attend Thee.
To the world, little Savior, new hope thou'rt bringing.
All the world, little Savior, Thy praises singing,
God's angels hov'ring o'er
Thee chant alleluia.
A la nanita nana, nanita ea.
