Lullabies to put our baby to sleep
We show you some lullabies to help your baby sleep.
Mothers have always sung lullabies to their children to help them sleep , make them relax or calm down after crying. Even before birth, it is advisable to sing to the baby in the fetus so that they notice the auditory vibrations and recognize the voice of their parents.
The first thing you have to do if you want to start singing lullabies to your baby is to choose the song. It can be a lullaby or just a calm song that you like. Make sure you know the letter, as this way your son or daughter will learn to detect the words.
Once you have chosen it, try to sing it every day. You and your partner can take turns so that the baby gets used to the two voices, and you can also introduce an instrument so that it recognizes different sounds from a very young age. The more you sing it, the more it will identify the song with peace and quiet, so you can use it for times when your baby is tense or crying.
If you do not know what lullaby to sing to your little one, here are some examples with which he will surely go to sleep like a little angel.

“Sleep, sleep, black
That your mom is in the field, black
Sleep, sleep, mobila
That your mom is in the field, mobila
He will bring quail for you.
It will bring you rich fruit for you
He’s going to bring pork for you.
It will bring many things for you.
And if the black does not sleep
The white devil is coming
And wham he eats his paw
Chacapumba, chacapumba, apumba, chacapumba.
Sleep, sleep, black
That your mom is in the field,
Bold
Working
Working hard, (Working yeah)
Working and going into mourning, (Working yes)
Working and they don’t pay him, (Working yes)
Working and coughing, (Working yes) “ .

“Sleep, sleep and dream of having
a life without temptation
of delusions, of gold and power,
to judge, even if there is reason.
Greed is slavery
of the soul and freedom.
That envy never kisses you,
that hate and evil do not embrace you (x2)
Sleep, sleep and dream of being
of your best treasure the guardian:
the love that I have poured into you,
you have a lot to give of that.
Don’t magnify yourself with wealth
don’t be shy about poverty,
that neither defeat nor failure prevent you
see that tomorrow will be another day.
Sleep, sleep, I’ll be here
the clouds will be your mattress,
that neither the wind nor the breeze leave you
to caress, because you are my Gift.
Sleep, sleep and dream of having … “.

My girl has a dream, bless her, bless her (x2)
Little fountain that runs clear and sonorous
Nightingale that in the jungle singing cries
Shut up while the cradle swings
A la nanita nana, nanita ella
A la nanita nana nanita ella nanita ella
My girl has a dream, blessed be, blessed be
Little fountain that runs clear and sonorous
Nightingale that in the jungle singing cries
Shut up while the cradle swings
A la nanita nana, nanita ella “ .
