What “Vlach Lullaby (Serbia)” Means
“Muma” means mother in the Vlach dialect spoken by the Vlach community of eastern Serbia, distinct from the Serbian word “majka.” Around Negotin, this community is known for its stone-carved wine cellars, the Rajacke pimnice, and a long tradition of hillside viticulture. This original lullaby draws on those vineyard and cellar images of Vlach life, with “muma” used as a warm address rather than a literal translation.
