Lullabies & nursery rhymes in Terre Celtiche Blog.
Often in Gaelic, they are songs that sink their roots in the Middle Ages.
They are musical compositions in very simple and repetitive verses with a well-marked rhythm.
Lullabies & nursery rhymes
To make sleeping or to calm the pain, or the story to entertain or to teach how to behave in the adult world. For the children they have become tongue twisters for counting or playing in the circle.
The lullabies are not unusual compositions in Wales, Scotland and Ireland to contradict the unhappy sentence (called by an Englishman) “The Celts have no lullabies: they are too warlike.” (A.P. Graves)

Ninne-nanne e filastrocche in Terre Celtiche Blog.
Spesso in gaelico, sono canti che affondano le loro radici nel Medioevo.
Sono composizioni musicali in versi molto semplici e ripetitivi con un ritmo ben scandito.
Ninne-nanne e filastrocche
Per far dormire o per calmare il dolore, oppure il racconto per intrattenere e divertire o per insegnare come comportarsi nel mondo degli adulti.
Per i bambini sono diventati scioglilingua per far la conta o parte dei giochi in girotondo.
Le ninna-nanne sono composizioni non insolite in Galles, Scozia e Irlanda tanto per contraddire l’infelice frase (detta da un inglese) “I Celti non hanno ninne nanne: sono troppo bellicosi.” (A.P. Graves)
