What “Burgenland Croatian Lullaby” Means
“Mama” means mother in Croatian. The Croatian minority of Austria’s Burgenland region has lived near the Hungarian border since the 16th century, keeping alive its own dialect, colorful costumes, and the circle folk dance called kolo. This original lullaby draws on those village and folk-dance images of Burgenland Croatian life, with “mama” used as a warm address rather than a literal translation.
