Vietnamese lullabies are called "hát ru," sung softly to help babies sleep.
Many hát ru begin with the gentle sounds "à ơi" to soothe a baby.
Babies are often rocked to sleep in a cloth hammock called a "võng."
Many lullabies use words from old folk poems called "ca dao."
Hát ru is one of the oldest singing traditions in Vietnam.
