Thread Name: Favorite Lullabies
Subject: Favorite Lullabies: Dormi, Dormi (The Gaylords)
BTW, the words to the lullabye (the ones I know) are:

Dormi, Dormi
(recorded by The Gaylords ca. 1954)

Cho.:
Dormi, dormi,
Dormi, dormi,
Dormi, dormi.

Close your eyes, little baby of mine,
And your mother will sing you to sleep.
Oh, the sweetest of dreams you will find,
Dreams that only a baby can keep.
All too soon you'll be baby no more,
And your mother will silently weep
Till the joy of a dream that's in store
When you rock your own baby to sleep.

Ti - di - di, T- di - da
Che bella [vita?] che [ ___ ___] mama.
Bella ___ ___ __ ___ ___ __ __
___ ___ ____ ___ ___ ___ __ __

(I forget the rest that I can't remember or couldn't translate back in the '50s.)
