There is no more beautiful human relationship and deeper bond of love than that of a mother with her child, do you agree? It’s like watching a new part of you being developed in another body and having the feeling that it’s the best part of you as well as the most vital!
With so much love permeating this beautiful, pure relationship, all you want most is for your child to develop in the best possible way and feel very, very, very loved – simply because he really is.
An excellent way to demonstrate this feeling and motivate your child to recognize the positive emotions you convey is to sing to him. That’s right, lullabies, in addition to being an ode to love, stimulate feelings and help calm your baby.
With that in mind, check out the repertoire of lullabies we’ve prepared for you and your baby to enjoy beautiful moments of snuggle.
1. Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star
Shine, shine little star / I want to see you shine / Shine, shine little star / I want to see you shine / Shine, shine in the sky / Shine, shine there in the sea / Shine, shine little star / I want to see you shine / Shine, shine little star / I want to see you shine / Shine, shine little star / I want to see you shine / Shine, shine in the sky / Shine, shine there in the sea / Shine, shine little star / I want to see you shine /
This beautiful song derives from a French song of unknown authorship, which inspired composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart to compose 12 variations of its melody.
2. My angel yes
I don’t know if you have an angel / I do have an angel / My angel is a little one / Who is now going to sleep / Sleep my beautiful angel / My seraph boy / That sleep is coming / To take you from me / Because it’s in the time / At bedtime / Sleep my little one / Sleep my cherub
In this song, the mother affectionately refers to her son as an angel, blessing him and wishing him a good night’s sleep.
3. Carnerinho, Carneirão
Carneirinho, carneirão-neirão-neirão / Look at the sky, look at the ground, at the ground, at the ground / Send the King, the King, Lord, Lord / For everyone to kneel / Carneirinho, carneirão-neirão-neirão / Look at the sky, look at the ground, at the ground, at the ground / Send the King, the King, Lord, Lord / For everyone to rise.
There are other versions of this beautiful song that are sung in cirandas and that encourage children to socialize and develop their motor skills.
4. Golden Rosemary
Rosemary, golden rosemary / That was born in the field / Without being sown / Rosemary, golden rosemary / That was born in the field / Without being sown / It was my love / That told me so / That the flower of the field is rosemary / It was my love / Who told me like this / That the flower of the field is rosemary / Rosemary, golden rosemary / That was born in the field / Without being sown / Rosemary, golden rosemary / That was born in the field / Without being sown / It was my love / Who told me so / That the flower of the field is rosemary / It was my love / Who told me so / That the flower of the field is rosemary /
With Portuguese origins, this song talks about rosemary, which is a very resistant plant and, therefore, some people associate the attributes of courage, faithfulness and trust to its blue flower.
5. Mrs. Spider
The spider lady / Climbed the wall / The heavy rain came / And knocked it down / The rain has passed / And the sun is already rising / And the spider lady / Keeps on climbing / She is stubborn / And disobedient / Up, up, up / And she’s never happy / The spider lady / Climbed the wall / The heavy rain came / And knocked it down / The rain has passed / And the sun is coming up / And the spider lady / Keeps climbing / She’s stubborn / And disobedient / Up, up, up / And you’re never happy /
A song that is apparently made just for fun can bring a greater meaning behind its lyrics. If positively observed, the spider’s attitude, mentioned in the song as stubborn and disobedient, can refer to her perseverance in achieving her goal of climbing the wall and not giving up in the face of life’s adversities. Better to look at it from that aspect, isn’t it?!
6. The carnation fought with the rose
The carnation fought with the rose / Under a balcony / The carnation was wounded / And the broken rose / The carnation got sick / And the rose went to visit / The carnation fainted / And the rose began to cry / The carnation fought with the rose / Under a balcony / The carnation was wounded / And the broken rose / The carnation got sick / And the rose went to visit / The carnation fainted / And the rose began to cry
Did you know that this song is part of a set of 16 pieces inspired by Brazilian folklore and created by Villa Lobos?
7. If this street were mine
If this street, if this street were mine / I would order, I would order it to be tiled / With pebbles, with diamond stones / For my, for my love to pass / In this street, in this street there is a wood / Which is called, which if calls loneliness / Inside him, inside him lives an angel / Who stole, who stole my heart / If I stole, if I stole your heart / It’s because, It’s because I love you / If I stole, if I stole your heart / You you stole it, you stole mine too
This song is full of meaning, have you noticed? It speaks of making the path of the one you love more beautiful and pleasant – who is seen as a sacred being. And yet, he uses the word steal to express something that occurs independently of the will of the one who suffers the theft; that is, without the girl wanting to, she fell in love with the boy (who stole her heart), which she claims happened to him too.
8. Close your eyes
Close your eyes, baby / There’s nothing that can scare you / There’s no fear that can stop you from dreaming / Close your eyes, baby / There’s nothing that can scare you / There’s no fear that can stop you from dreaming / Like feathers dancing lightly in the air / I will sing sweetly / Nothing will wake you
In this song, the mother conveys security to her son, giving him the certainty that she will protect him and watch over his sleep, so that he can dream.
9. It rains
It rains very slowly / It’s beautiful outside / The sleep is coming / Soon, soon, it won’t be long / It rains very slowly / What a nice walk / Daddy will arrive / Soon, soon, it won’t be long / It rains very slowly / It’s beautiful outside / The nap is coming / Soon, soon, it won’t be long / It rains very slowly / What a nice walk / Daddy will arrive / Soon, soon, it won’t be long
This song reminds us how good it is to sleep in the rain, that quiet rain, which refreshes the night and calms the spirit; rain that helps to reassure the child who is waiting for daddy to sleep.
10. Little Bear
Come my darling teddy bear / My little companion / Pimpão Bear / Let’s dream adventures / Fly high / From imagination / As in the comic book / I’m Tink / You Peter Pan / Let’s have our party / Play in the forest / Tarzan Bear / While sleep doesn’t come/ I’m Little Red/ You’re my heartthrob/ Dance too (Pimpão)/ Around the hall (Pimpão)/ It’s so beautiful, our song/ Morning is coming (Pimpão)/ Sleep Pimpão (Pimpão)/ Loose bear, don’t you have lesson / Come my dear boy / Favorite actor / From my station / I’ll dream you in color / Catching thugs / On television / Let’s leave tiredness / Sleep in a hug / My old friend / Don’t be sad angry / If I turn aside / And I throw you on the floor / Ah! My little clown bear / Your circus is a piece / Of my heart / Dance too (Pimpão) / Around the hall (Pimpão) / Our song is so beautiful / Morning is coming (Pimpão) / Sleep Pimpão (Pimpão) / Loose bear, don’t you have lesson
This song (so playful!), refers to children’s imagination, in which the child can be whatever they want and in which they will never be alone – they will always have their best friend, Ursinho Pimpão.
11. Wanderer
Slowly, slowly / Close your eyes in your nest / And sleep will come / And sleep in the dark / Slowly, slowly / Put the world to dream…
With a very calm melody and lyrics full of rhymes, this song gives a nice sleep… Perfect to make your baby relax!
12. The rain
The rain falls makes you lim / The frog coacha cha cha / The bell rings dim dom / I sing la la la la / The night will begin / All you need to do is nanar.
This playful and peaceful song reproduces the sound of the meaning of the words it brings with it, like the noise of the bell, for example.
What a delight to learn or remember all these songs and transform a moment that is already very special – that of snuggling and snuggling your child – into a truly magical moment that overflows with love. May your son always have sweet dreams and may you always dream about him!
