Dhobi Aaya ● The Washerman Came ● धोबी आया
Pronounced “DOE-doe TEE pee-TEET muh-MUH,” Dodo ti pitit manman is a popular Haitian lullaby. The lyrics jokingly warn the little one of being eaten by a crab if they don’t fall asleep, but - fortunately - the sweet melody succeeds in lulling the little one to sleep!
