What “Nina, Nana, Moru Moje” Means
Montenegro’s short but dramatic Adriatic coastline, with the Bay of Kotor’s cliffs and calm waters, offers natural imagery for a bedtime song. This original arrangement uses the ‘nina, nana’ refrain shared across the region, calling the child ‘moru moje’ (my little sea).
