Ala Nanita Nana - shared by Charles Consaul from Canada

'This is a traditional Spanish Lullaby that is typically sung as a Christmas Carol. My students taught it to me, and I did the best I could to do justice to it. If you can suggest any improvements, I would be happy to consider them. The carol is sung in Spanish and the phonetic pronunciation is included on the separate sheet, as close as I could get it.'
