What “Duerme, Niño Nica” Means
Lake Nicaragua is Central America's largest lake, and Ometepe Island, formed by two volcanoes rising from its waters, is one of the country's most iconic sights. This original lullaby, using 'nica,' the friendly nickname for Nicaraguans, borrows that same volcanic-lake imagery.
