Many lullabies use words from old folk poems called "ca dao."
Ca dao are short, pretty verses about home, fields, and love. They make lullabies sound like little poems.

Thêm điều thú vị về Hát ru Việt
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."
Grandmothers and mothers pass hát ru down by heart, song after song.
Hát ru is one of the oldest singing traditions in Vietnam.
