Can Anyone Help with the Words to a Portuguese Lullaby?
July 25th, 2016

Shawn wrote to us asking for help with a lullaby in Portuguese that his grandma sang to him. Here’s his email:

Hi,

I was trying to find a Portuguese lullaby that my vovo used to sing with me, something about a sleeping baby.

Dorme bebezinho sobra so na coma
Za dormede yama

I’m getting no where with this and it’s so sad I can’t remember it to pass on to my son.

Hope you can help thanks.

Shawn

Thanks in advance!

Mama Lisa

    Dear Shawn

    I guess the lullaby you´re refering o is the one below:

    Dorme nenê
    que a Cuca vem pegar
    Papai foi na roça, mamãe foi trabalhar
