What “Lyulyay, Lyulyay, Pilentse” Means
‘Lyulyay’ comes from the Bulgarian verb meaning to rock or sway, a natural word to build a cradle song around, and ‘pilentse’ (little bird or little chick) is a common affectionate nickname for a baby. This original arrangement sets that rocking refrain against Bulgaria’s famous Rose Valley, a gentle, fragrant backdrop for a bedtime song.
