LAMMA BADA:
When he begins to sway
My beloved, the beautiful one, attracts me.
He commands us with a look,
Surrender!
When I glimpse my beloved’s beauty,
I surrender to my destiny and confusion.
In my suffering for love,
Who can understand my lamenting,
Except the king of beauty?
NANI, NANI
Lullaby, lullaby,
The boy wants a lullaby.
The mother’s son,
Who is small but will grow.
Ah, go to sleep, my sweetest!
Your father is coming home soon,
Full of much joy.
“Oh, open up, my lady,
Open the door!
I come home tired
From working in the orchards.”
Ah, I will not open them!
You do not come here tired -
You’ve just returned
From your new lover.
Lullaby, lullaby…
