What “Nina Nana Tra le Dolomiti” Means

Trentino-Alto Adige is Italy’s most bilingual region, where Italian ‘nina nana’ and German ‘Schlaf, Kindlein’ cradle-song traditions have long lived side by side. This original arrangement blends a touch of both worlds — using ‘chindle’, a South Tyrolean dialect word for little child — set against the towering, still peaks of the Dolomites.
