Ninna Nanna Ninna Oh: 🇮🇹 Italian Lullaby Lyric Music Video - Max and the Magic

Ninna nanna, ninna oh is one of the most famous Italian lullabies. Why so many versions? This folk gem has dozens of regional verses. We hand-picked the most visual ones – Befana, the Black Wolf, and the White Wolf for their visual appeal. Who is La Befana? Befana is Italy’s beloved good witch who flies on her broom the night of January 5th (Epiphany Eve). According to legend, the Three Wise Men asked her for directions to Bethlehem. She refused, then regretted it and has searched for the Baby Jesus ever since. Every year she fills good children’s stockings with candy and naughty ones with lumps of coal (or black sugar candy!). She’s the Italian cousin of Santa – magical, mischievous, and 100 % kid-approved. Like every Max and the Magic bedtime song, this video is a parent-teacher. Learn the tune today, sing it tomorrow, and keep the oral tradition alive. One “ninna oh” at a time, we’re passing Italy’s musical heritage to the next generation.
