What “Aijā, Žūžū, Lāča Bērns” Means
‘Aijā, žūžū’ is a traditional Latvian lullaby refrain, most famously used in the folk song about rocking bear cubs (lāča bērni) to sleep in the forest. This original arrangement keeps that same gentle, rhythmic refrain and forest imagery, deeply rooted in Latvia’s folk-song (daina) tradition.
