Week 23: A Spanish Lullaby for Valentine's Day

top 100 most popular girls’ names in both Europe and South America. It has been a particularly favored choice in
Colombia, where it takes top billing as the #1 most popular female name for the past ten years.

saint of love and lovers, of young people and of happy marriages. But did you know that St. Valentine is
also the patron saint of beekeepers? This would be a sweet name for
our little “love bug”, who might enjoy this tender Spanish lullaby by Latin Grammy Award winner, Carla Morrison:
