What “Ulcinj Albanian Lullaby” Means
“Nana” is the Gheg Albanian dialect form of mother, spoken by the Albanian community of Ulcinj on Montenegro’s southern coast. This fishing town is known for its fortified old quarter, olive groves, and long sandy beaches along the Adriatic. This original lullaby draws on those coastal and fishing-village images of Ulcinj Albanian life, with “nana” used as a warm address rather than a literal translation.
