Canção de Ninar

The song 'Canção de Ninar (Hora de Dormir)' by Masha e o Urso is a whimsical and playful take on the traditional lullaby. Instead of soothing a child to sleep, the song encourages them to stay awake and dance. The lyrics are filled with lively imagery and a sense of fun, creating an atmosphere of joy and excitement rather than calm and rest. This approach is quite fitting for the characters of Masha and the Bear, who are known for their mischievous and energetic antics.

The song begins with a seemingly typical lullaby instruction to 'Vai dormir e apague a luz' (Go to sleep and turn off the light), but quickly shifts to a more playful tone. The mention of a wolf that 'deixa todos cansados' (makes everyone tired) and 'vai te pegar por todos os lados' (will catch you from all sides) adds a touch of adventure and excitement. The countdown '5 e 4 e 3, 2, 1' builds anticipation, leading to the wolf dancing 'como nenhum' (like no one else), which is a fun twist that keeps the energy high.

Throughout the song, the repeated refrain of 'Tchau tchau tchau tchau' (Bye bye bye bye) and 'Aumente a música no máximo' (Turn up the music to the max) reinforces the idea of staying awake and having fun. The lyrics encourage movement and engagement, with lines like 'Mexa os pés não feche os olhos' (Move your feet, don't close your eyes) and 'balance bem' (sway well). The playful warning 'Não caia da cama ou bate o coco' (Don't fall off the bed or bump your head) adds to the lighthearted and humorous tone.

In essence, 'Canção de Ninar (Hora de Dormir)' is a celebration of childhood energy and imagination. It turns the bedtime routine on its head, making it a time for dancing and joy rather than sleep. This reflects the spirit of Masha and the Bear, who bring a sense of fun and adventure to everything they do, even bedtime.
