What “Nani, Nani, Puișorul” Means
Romanian lullabies traditionally open with ‘nani, nani’ and often call the baby ‘puișor’, a little chick or little one. A recurring image in the tradition is the moon and stars watching over the sleeping child, guarding their dreams. This original arrangement draws directly on that same protective, starlit imagery.
