Nani, nani

Traditionnel, arrangements Christophe Hoarau, Paul Mindy
Interprète Awena Burgess

Sleep, sleep, sleepy child, mother’s child
Little one you’ll grow up soon enough
Oh, sleep my soul, sleep apple of my eye
Because your father is returning all happy

Ah, wife, open the door, open up!
I’m back and tired from working the fields
I will not open the door: you are not tired at all
You are back from visiting your new love

Nani, nani, nani kere el ijo, el ijo de la madre
De tchiko se aga grande
Ay, durmite mi alma, durmite mi vista
Ke tu padre vyene kon muntcha alegriya

Ay, avrimes, mi dama, avrimes la puerta!
Ke vengo kansado de arar las uertas
Avrir no vos avro, no venich kansado
Sino ke venich de onde muevo amor
