Dormi Dormi

Introduction

This is a really pretty Italian lullaby.  Italian is a beautiful sounding language.  It is lyrical and expressive, and because of that, it has been used for the lyrics in music for centuries.

Once, I was walking through an airport in Rome, Italy with my brother and there was an announcement in Italian.  Probably something like, “Flight 22 is leaving from gate 7 in 5 minutes.  Hurry up or you’ll miss your flight!” and my brother looked at me and said, “that sounded like a song” and he was right.  Italian is so beautiful that it makes an airport announcement sound pretty, like a song.
