a benim nenni de kınalım nenni de belalım nenni de nenni
cennete gönderseler
a benim nenni de kınalım nenni de belalım nenni de nenni

oh my nenni with hena nenni troublesome nenni de nenni
should be sent to heaven
oh my nenni with hena nenni troublesome nenni de nenni

David.
This actually is a very very old Turkish song, sang for hundreds of years to put the babies to sleep.. Such songs are called "nenni" or "ninni" on some regions.

you can find a cover of such a song ( not my favourite but) here :

This song doesn't mean really "ninni". Original name of the song "Dam Üstünde Çul Serer". It's just Turkish folk song,nothing about with babies :D
