română cântece de leagăn

Un cântec de leagăn este o melodie linistitoare, de obicei, cântat la copii mici înainte de a merge la culcare, cu intenția de a accelera acest proces. Ca urmare, acestea sunt adesea simple și repetitive. Cântece de leagăn pot fi găsite în orice cultură, iar din perioada antică
Culca-te, puiut micut,
Culca-te si te abua
Pâna mâine-n dalba ziua.
Si te culca si adormi
Pâna mâine-n dalbe zori.

Doina din ce s-o facut ?
Dintr-o gura de mic prunc.
L-o lasat maica dormind,
L-o aflat doina zicând.

Abua – bua – bua,
Abua, tucu-l maica,
Nu te teme tu de zmei,
I-a goni maica pe ei.

Puisor cu ochi de mure,
Maica-i dusa la padure,
Ti-a aduce gatejoare
Si ti-a face scovergioare.

Go to asleep my tiny baby,
Try to sleep and get asleep
Till the white dawns break the day.
Then wake up as a grown child. Get asleep, my tiny baby
Till tomorrow in the dawn.

Abua – bua – bua,
Abua, your mother will gently kiss you
Don’t be afraid of bad creatures in the forest
Your mother is forever guarding and protecting you.

Little sweetest mother’s baby
With small eyes as dark blackberries
Your mother will go to forest
She’s going to bring you wooden pieces from the trees
And make crullers just for you
Nani, nani, puiul mamii,
Nani, nani, puiul mamii,
Puisorul mamii mic,
Facete-ai, maica, voinic.

Nani, nani, puiul mamii,
Nani, nani, puiul mamii,
Frumusel si voinicel,
Mândru ca un stejerel.

Nani, nani, puiul mamii,
Nani, nani, puiul mamii,
Puiul mamii, puisor,
Dormi, puiule, dormi usor.
Haia, haia, mica baia,
Cuculica, fata mica,
Douazasi si unu
Da-m si mie unu.

Lululica-n cuculica,
Haia mica, fata mica
Hai, hai, hai, hai, hai, hai,
Hai, hai, mos Mihai, hai.

Haia, haia, mica baia,
Haia, hai, hai, câti copii ai ?
Douazasi si unu,
Da-m si mie unu.
Haia, haia, tiny is the bath
Cuculica, tiny baby girl
I say twenty-one,
Give me at least one.

Lululica, cuculica
Tiny haia, tiny baby girl
Hai, hai, hai, hai, hai, hai,
Hai, hai, dear grandpa Mihai, hai, hai

Haia, haia, tiny is the bath
Haia, hai, hai, how many children have you got?
I’ve got twenty-one,
Give me at least one.
Podul de piatră s-a dărâmat
A venit apa şi l-a luat
Vom face altul pe riu, în jos
Altul mai trainic şi mai frumos!
Vom face altul pe riu, în jos
Altul mai trainic şi mai frumos!

The stone bridge broke down,
The water came and took it down!
We'll build another one,
Another one that will last and is even more beautiful!
We'll build another one,
Another one that will last and is even more beautiful!
Spring is coming, is coming!
All over the country!
Flowers in the fields,
Children let us pick them!
Tralalalalalalalala!
Tralalalalalalalala!
Flowers in the fields,
Children let us pick them!

The grass grows, grows green,
The larks get lost in the clouds,
Children let us go and listen to them,
To their songs in the fields!
Tralalalalalalalala!
Tralalalalalalalala!
Children let us go and listen to them,
To their songs in the fields!

Cuckoo, cuckoo, yell out loud,
He jumps on his feet,
Lambs are playing in the fields,
Children let us go to see them!
Tralalalalalalala!
Tralalalalalalala!
Lambs are playing in the fields,
Children let us go to see them!
