Deborah Dugan wrote asking for help with an Albanian lullaby:

Can anyone help with the words to an Albanian lullaby that my mother used to sing to us as children?

The words were:

Say cannndes manndes
Chupa thomoname block um
Block um block um
Pootha
Nanana nee to karo.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Deborah Dugan

    Hello there,
    I am trying to figure it out,

    Probably first row is
    Gjes Këndes me vesë! (Good morning Rooster)
    Chupa – is the girl (çupa)
    Thomaname – can’t figure it out,
    Block um – Sounds or Llokum, which is a sweet
    Nana (mom)
    nee to karo – no idea as of now,

    Gjes këndes me vesë
    çupa tonë si llokum
    Llokum Llokum
    Puthe Nanën
