What “Dodo, Ti Bebe” Means
‘Dodo’ is the heart of Haitian Creole lullabies — the word itself means ‘to sleep’ and opens the country’s best-loved cradle songs, often addressed to a ‘ti pitit’ (little one). This original lullaby uses that same gentle call, alongside the sunset and rustling trees familiar from countless Haitian evenings.
