What “Nani, Nani, Vița Mea” Means
Moldova shares its language and much of its lullaby tradition with neighbouring Romania, including the gentle ‘nani, nani’ refrain. This original arrangement calls the child ‘vița mea’ (my little vine), drawing on Moldova’s identity as a land of vineyards and gently rolling hills.
