what does A la Nanita Nana, Nanita ella mean in English?

Answer 1

Here's the translation of the whole song:

A la nanita nana nanita ella nanita ella
nana means lullaby or nanny
So this line means "To the little nanny, nanny, little nanny she little nanny she"
Mi niña tiene sueño bendito sea, bendito sea
My child (girl) is sleepy, blessed be, blessed be
(repeat)
Fuentecita que corre clara y sonora
Little stream that runs clear and loud
Ruiseñor que en la selva cantando llora
Nightingale that in the jungle cries singing (or sings sadly)
Calla mientras la cuna se balansea
Hush, as the cradle rocks

This is a traditional spanish carol/lullaby. It's so pretty.

Answer 4

That phrase doesn't actually make sense to me.

Nanita is the diminutive of the word Nana.

Nana has different meanings depending on which country you are. It can mean 'lullaby' and also grandmother (so 'nanita' could mean granny). In some countries in South America (and I think also in Mexico) that word is used to refer to a babysitter.

By the way, "A la Nanita Nana" is the name of a carol.

In Quechua (Incan language spoken in parts of South America), nana is a wound or cut in the skin.

Answer 5

The song is written in Spain Spanish.
It's closest translation is:
"To the little lullaby" lullaby

It is about a mother singing a song to her daughter because she is tired. It has nothing to do with a Nanny. Almost a lullaby about a lullaby.

Answer 6

The literal translation is: To Nanita Nana, Nanita she. I have no idea what it means. Nanita sounds like a name. Nana could also be a name.

Answer 7

the Nanita Nursemaid, Nanita she
