"Tralalero tralala" is an Italian brainrot term
and character that's taking the internet by storm. Even though the phrase sounds vaguely Italian, it's actually just nonsense words that sound like you're singing along to a song and doesn't have an actual English translation. Many people use it to sound playful and carefree.
"Tralalero tralala" became even more popular because of its AI-generated character that was posted on TikTok. The character is a shark with 3 legs that wears blue Nike shoes and loves to play Fortnite with his son.
