3 Polish Lullabies 1. Sleep my Dear 2. A little spark Song available below# 3. The sky is coming**	3 Polish Lullabies 1. Ach Śpij Kochanie * 2. Na Wojtusia Z Popielnika* Song available below# 3. Idzie niebo cimną nocą** * Contribution by: Barbara Mariposa, Sutton Veny CE Primary School, Warminster, Wiltshire, UK School 17 Chorzów, Poland * Bozena Stanek fron School 17 Chorzów # Miroslawa Sabala-Podgórska (Creative Commons Licence "Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 Generic" )


Sleep my Dear	Ach Śpij Kochanie
So many stars above, So many cities at the bottom. Stars are giving signs to cities, That children must go to sleep! Oh sleep my dear... If you want a star from the sky-you’ll get it. What do you want? Just let me know- I can give you everything! So why you don’t want to sleep? Oh sleep, because in the night, When stars are shining in the sky, All the children asleep, even the bad one, And only you don’t. Hush...Hush.. There were two little cats,... hush... They both were grey. Oh sleep, because The moon just yawned and will fall asleep in a moment, And in the morning, when dawn will come The moon is going to feel ashamed That it was him, not you, who fall asleep. Hush...Hush...	W górze tyle gwiazd, W dole tyle miast. Gwiazdy miastom dają znać, Że dzieci musza spać... Ach śpij kochanie. Jeśli gwiazdkę z nieba chcesz dostaniesz. Czego pragniesz daj mi znać. Ja ci wszystko mogę dać. Więc dlaczego nie chcesz spać Ach, śpij, bo nocą, Kiedy gwiazdy się na niebie złocą Wszystkie dzieci, nawet złe, Pogrążone są we śnie A ty jedna tylko nie.... Aaa... Aaa... Były sobie kotki dwa. Aaa... Aaa... Szarobure, szarobure, obydwa Ach, śpij, bo właśnie Księżyc ziewa i za chwilę zaśnie A gdy rano przyjdzie świt Księżycowi będzie wstyd, Że on zasnął a nie ty W górze tyle gwiazd, W dole tyle miast. Gwiazdy miastom dają znać, Że dzieci musza spać...



A little spark Song available Wav*	Na Wojtusia Z Popielnika Song available Wav*
A little spark twinkles from the hearth to little Adalbert: - Come, I’ll tell you a story, it will be very long. There was once a princess, She fell in love with a busker! The king arranged a great wedding And...it’s the end of the story. Once there was a witch, she had a little hut made of litter; And in this hut, there were only strange things! Pssst! The spark went down. Adalbert looks and muses, His eyes filled up with tears: - Why did you fool me so? I’ll remember that! I won’t ever believe you! You little spark! You shine for a moment, then you go down! And that’s it - the whole story.	Na Wojtusia z popielnika Iskiereczka mruga - Chodź opowiem ci bajeczkę, Bajka będzie długa. Była sobie raz królewna, Pokochała grajka, Król wyprawił im wesele... I skończona bajka. Była sobie Baba Jaga, Miała chatkę z masła, A w tej chatce same dziwy... Cyt! iskierka zgasła. Patrzy Wojtuś, patrzy, duma, Zaszły łzą oczęta. Czemuś mnie tak okłamała? Wojtuś zapamięta. Już ci nigdy nie uwierzę Iskiereczko mała. Najpierw błyśniesz, potem gaśniesz, Ot i bajka cała. . (Part 2nd) listen*** Był sobie król, był sobie paź i była też królewna. Żyli wśród mórz, nie znali burz, rzecz najzupełniej pewna. Kochał się król, kochał się paź, kochali się w królewnie. I ona też kochała ich, kochali się wzajemnie. Lecz stała się pewnego dnia rzecz straszna niesłychanie, króla zjadł pies, pazia zjadł kot, królewnę myszka zjadła. Lecz żeby ci nie było żal dziecino ukochana, z cukru byl król, z piernika paź, królewna z marcepana.


The sky is coming	Idzie niebo ciemną nocą listen***
The sky is coming through the dark night, It’s got a pinafore full of stars. The stars are shining and flickering, And even birds look through their nests. As they looked-they had seen And no longer wanted to sleep, Capricious and fretful they were, each wanted to be given one! Stars are not toys. The night would be angry Hey! The spavined cat will hear! Hush, better be quiet! Hush lyrics: Ewa Szelburg Zarębina	Idzie niebo ciemną nocą, ma w fartuszku pełno gwiazd. Gwiazdy świeca i migocą, aż wyjrzały ptaszki z gniazd. Jak wyjrzały, zobaczyły to nie chciały dłużej spać. Kaprysiły, grymasiły, żeby im po jednej dać. Gwiazdki nie są do zabawy, tożby nocka była zła. Bo usłyszy kot kulawy, cicho bądźcie! Aaa... słowa: Ewa Szelburg Zarębina

Five English Lullabies
By Baby Bunting
Lavender's blue
Twinkle twinkle little star
Scottish Lullaby
Hush, little baby

By Baby Bunting

Bye baby bunting
Daddy’s gone a hunting
Gone to get a rabbit skin
To wrap his baby bunting in
In old English cradle songs were called Byssinge, the prefix by meaning slumber. This joyous little song is as old as English nursery rhymes. English mothers have sung it to their babies and it is familiar wherever the English language is spoken. The melody has come through the years unchanged. As in the case of lullabies of many other lands, the promise of a reward for good behaviour is offered to the child. In current English the word bunting may refer to a kind of bird or a soft, thick cloth. Or it may often be simply a term of endearment.

Lavender's blue

Lavender's blue, dilly dilly,
Lavender's green

When I am King, dilly dilly,
you shall be Queen

Call up your man, dilly, dilly
Set them to work

Some to the plough, dilly dilly,
Some to the fork

Lavender's blue, dilly dilly,
Lavender's green

When you are King, dilly dilly,
I shall be Queen

Call up your man, dilly, dilly
Set them to work

Some to the plough, dilly dilly,
Some to the fork
Lavender’s blue is a traditional song used as a lullaby. It is not known who it was written by or when, but it dates back to at least the 1680s. Like many lullabies it has probably been passed down through generations and has changed every time. An alternative opening is ‘Lavender‘s blue, dilly dilly, rosemary’s green’.

Twinkle twinkle little star

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
how I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high,
like a diamond in the sky
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
how I wonder what you are
This is one of the popular English nursery rhymes. It combines the tune of the 1761 French melody ‘Ah! Vous dirai-je, Maman’ with an English poem, ‘The Star’ by Jane Taylor. The poem, which is in couplet form, was first published in 1806 in Rhymes for the Nursery, a collection of poems by Taylor and her sister Ann. The English lyrics have five verses, although only he first is widely known. Mozart wrote twelve variations on Twinkle, Twinkle, Little star, listed as Variations on ‘Ah! Vous dirai-je, Maman’.

Scottish Lullaby

Oh, hush thee, my baby,
Thy sire was a knight,
Thy mother a lady,
Both lovely and bright;
The woods and the glens,
From the towers which we see,
They all are belonging,
Dear baby, to thee.
Oh, hush thee, my baby,
Thy sire was a knight,
Oh, hush thee, my baby,
So bonnie, so bright.
Oh, fear not the bugle,
Tho' loudly it blows,
It calls but the warders
That guard thy repose;
Their bows would be bended,
Their blades would be red,
Ere the step of a foeman
Draws near to thy bed.
Oh, hush thee, my baby,
Thy sire was a knight,
From the proud clans of the Scottish Highlands comes this traditional melody. Only the air Cdul gu lo (Sleep on till dawn) and not the original Scottish verses were used when a dramatization of Sir Walter Scott’s Guy Mannering was presented. For this, Sir Walter Scott composed the verses ‘Lullaby for an Infant Child’. The history of the Highlands and the interminable wars by which the clans were able o reserve their hard-won independence against overwhelming odds are evoked in this first song for an infant. The dream is of the trumpet and the ideal s manhood. The lines of this lullaby are familiar to us as a nursery rhyme. They are but a curtailed version of Sir Walter Scott’s verses.

Hush, little baby

Hush, little baby, don't say a word.
Papa's gonna buy you a mockingbird

And if that mockingbird won't sing,
Papa's gonna buy you a diamond ring

if that diamond ring turns brass,
Papa's gonna buy you a looking glass

if that looking glass gets broke,
Papa's gonna buy you a billy goat

if that billy goat won't pull,
Papa's gonna buy you a cart and bull

And if that cart and bull turn over,
Papa's gonna buy you a dog named Rover

And if that dog named Rover won’t bark,
Papa’s gonna buy a horse and cart.

And if that horse and cart fall down,
You'll still be the sweetest little baby in town
This is another traditional lullaby and again we do not know who wrote it or when, although it is thought to be American (mockingbirds are from the American continent). The lyrics promise all kind of rewards to the child if he or she is quite.

Rock-a-bye baby on the tree top
When the wind blows the cradle will rock.
When the bough breaks the cradle will fall.
Down will come baby and cradle and all.

8 Italian Lullabies Lullaby of Peace Star, Little Star Nana Bobo’ (Veneto) Go to sleep, my Simone (Toscany) Lullaby of sounds and colours Go to bed-byes, little chicken legs Ninna oh [Lullaby Lullabu] Quanti Bambini		8 Italian Lullabies Ninna Nanna di Pace Stella Stellina Nana Bobo’ Fai la Nanna, Mio Simone Ninnananna dei suoni e dei colori Fate la nanna, coscine di pollo Ninna oh Quanti bambini

Lullaby of Peace testo:P. Guidi- C. Farina- M. Iardella musica:P. Guidi- C. Farina- M. Iardella (hear the music)		Ninna Nanna di Pace testo:P. Guidi- C. Farina- M. Iardella musica:P. Guidi- C. Farina- M. Iardella (hear the music)
1st singer: Lullaby of peace that I invent Thinking of a baby Arrived tonight from the sea with the cold it does Transported on the wind wings From a faraway Country to here With a sweeter memory of another town in his pocket. Lullaby of peace and tomorrow will be a new day Like inside a fairy tale telling of happiness Without the shadow of bad wolf and the witch won’t come With a king like my grandad who doesn’t do the war. 2nd singer: And I’ll sing slowly in a language you don’t know today And suddenly every word you’ll understand. And it’ll be a song of peace, of friendship and fantasy. Lullaby and your hand is in mine. 3rd singer: Lullaby of peace for who stretches the hands today Over the wall looking for someone to play with Just wait until tomorrow And you’ll see the wall disappear Lullaby of peace to all who don’t have the peace… Chorus And in my home you’ll find your home It is full of toys and if you want they’ll be yours. But may be the nicest game is you will teach me. 2nd singer: Lullaby and the fear isn’t here anymore! Chorus: Run with me for a big Hide and seek Happy because you know I’ll find you And inside a beautiful sun your smile Will shine with mine And we’ll be like brothers, you and me 2nd singer: Lullaby and your hand is in mine!		1° solista: Ninna nanna di pace che invento Pensando a un bambino Che è arrivato stanotte dal mare col freddo che fa Trasportato sulle ali del vento Da un paese lontano, fin qua Con in tasca il ricordo più dolce di un'altra città. Ninna nanna di pace e domani sarà un giorno nuovo Come dentro una fiaba che parla di felicità Senza l'ombra del lupo cattivo e la strega non arriverà Con un Re che assomiglia a mio nonno che la guerra non fa. 2 solista: E canterò piano in una lingua che oggi tu non conosci, E all'improvviso ogni parola capirai. E sarà un canto di pace, di amicizia e fantasia Ninna nanna e la tua mano é nella mia. 3° solista: Ninna nanna di pace per chi oggi tende la mani Oltre il muro cercando qualcuno con cui giocare Aspetta fino a domani E vedrai svanire quel muro Ninna nanna di pace a chiunque la pace non ha... Coro: E nella mia casa la tua casa tu ritroverai é piena di giochi e se vorrai saranno tuoi Ma forse il gioco più me lo insegni proprio tu 2° solista: Ninna nanna e la paura non c'è più! Coro: Corri con me per un grande nascondino Felice perché sai che io ti troverò E dentro un bel sole il tuo sorriso Brillerà insieme al mio E saremo due fratelli tu ed io 2 solista: Ninna nanna e la tua mano é nella mia!


Star, Little Star (English)		Stella Stellina
Star, little star The night is approaching: the flame is tottering, The cow is in the cowshed. The sheep and the lamb, the cow with the calf. The hen with its chicks. The cat with its kittens; and all are sleeping In the mother’s heart!		Stella stellina la notte si avvicina: la fiamma traballa, la mucca é nella stalla. La pecora e l'agnello, la vacca col vitello, la chioccia coi pulcini, la gatta coi gattini; e tutti fan la nanna nel cuore della mamma!
About the Lullaby
There is no evidence on when and where this lullaby was created. It shows a standard Italian and is one of the most popular cradle songs, used all over Italy. When seventy and over seventy years old Italians have been asked if they heard this song in their infancy, their response has been positive. So, we believe that Stella Stellina can be considered to be quite an old lullaby, although it sounds very contemporary.

Nana Bobo’ (Veneto)		Nana Bobo’ (Veneto)
Nana bobo’, nana bobo’ all children are sleeping but Guido isn’t. Sleep, sleep, sleep, beautiful baby, I wish you a healthy life and then wealth. Sleep, sleep, sleep, cradle baby. Nana bobo’, nana bobo’ all children are sleeping but Guido isn’t.		Nana bobò, nana bobò, tutti i bambini dormen* e Guido no. E dormi, dormi, dormi per un anno, La sanità a to padre poi il guadagno E dormi, dormi, dormi, bambin de cuna. To mama no la gh’è la a-sé andà via*** Nana bobò, nana bobò, tutti i bambini dormen e Guido no
About the Lullaby
This is a beautiful and very ancient lullaby of the Veneto lagoon. Balkan and Byzantine Influences are evident in the structure of the song. The mother is wishing health and wealth to his beloved child who doesn’t want to sleep.

Go to sleep, my Simone (Toscany)		Fai la Nanna, Mio Simone(Toscany)
The shepherd cries when it snows, he doesn’t cry when he eats the soft white cheese. Hush a bye, my Simone, You will learn your father’s art, You will learn to use the cross-cut saw, Hush a bye, my Simone. Hush a bye, my sweetie, Your dad has come, he has brought a little hat for you, Hush a bye, my sweetie. Hush a bye, rag baby boy, Until it will be half past twelve, Until the bread in the oven will be ready, Until it will be half past twelve, until the bread will be ready, the damsels are in the square, my baby is in his big bed, and sleep, my Simone.		Il pecoraio piange quando fiocca, non piange quando mangia la ricotta. Il pecoraio piange quando piove Non piange quando mangia le caciole Fai la ninna mio Simone, Imparerai l’arte del babbo, Imparerai a tirar il segone, Fai la ninna mio Simone. Fai la ninna, citolo mio, E’ venuto lo babbo tuo, ha portato un cappellino, Fai la ninna citolino. Fai la ninna pupo de pezza, Finché battera’ la mezza, Finché è cotto il pane in forno, Finché batte mezzogiorno. Finché è fatta la focaccia, Le donzelle stanno in piazza, Il mio bimbo sta nel lettone, E fai la ninna mio Simone.
About the Lullaby
An example of the old folk lullabies which depicts a feeling of the simple way of living in the old days. This is a lullaby from Tuscany and shows an initial exuberant tone followed by the sweeter pace of the cradle song. The mother is with her baby boy and she envisages his future following the father’s approach to life and work. Other women are in the square, but she is at home cooking the focaccia bread and looking after her baby.

Lullaby of sounds and colours		Ninnananna dei suoni e dei colori
Hush a bye, little prince, Hush a bye, little heart, (Hush a bye, little rose, hush a bye, little doll), Sleep well in your cradle, Your mum is here, close by. Close your eyes, sleep for a long time And you will see that everything is enchanting. Red, green, blue and gold Are more beautiful, my sweetheart. Viola, harp and mandolin: Everything is sound for my little baby boy (for my little baby girl)		Fai la nanna principino, Fai la nanna cuoricino, (Fai la nanna rosellina, Fai la nanna bambolina), Dormi bene nel lettino, Che la mamma e’ qui vicino. Chiudi gli occhi dormi tanto E vedrai tutto e’ un incanto. Rosso, verde, azzurro e oro Son piu’ belli, mio tesoro. Viola, arpa e mandolino: Tutto e’ suono per il mio bambino (per la mia bambina)
About the Lullaby
This is a contemporary, brand new lullaby, composed for this project. It is in a standard Italian and is dedicated to a baby boy or a baby girl who, while sleeping, or half-asleeping with her/his parents, explores a dream word made of beautiful colours and sounds.

Go to bed-byes, little chicken legs		Fate la nanna, coscine di pollo
Go to bed-byes, little chicken legs, mum made a skirt for you, she made it with the scallop border. Go to bed-byes, little chicken legs. Sleep, sleep, little chicken legs, mum made a skirt for you, she made it with the scallop border. Sleep, sleep, little chicken legs.		Fate la nanna coscine di pollo, la vostra mamma vi ha fatto un gonnello, e ve l'ha fatto con lo smerlo in tondo, fate la nanna coscine di pollo. Dormi, dormi coscine di pollo, che la mamma cuce il gonnello; te lo cuce con tutto il contorno. Dormi, dormi coscine di pollo

About the Lullaby
Italian mothers know this lullaby and it is used regularly with no text variations. The little chicken legs can easily be those of little babies and the skirt refers to time when many more mothers then those of today could dedicate their time on activities such as producing pieces of crochet for their babies. Unfortunately, there is no evidence to date it and to define its original location, although it seems more popular in Tuscany.

Ninna –oh		Ninna –oh
Lullaby Lullabu, Who this child I’ll bring to? If I give him to the old witch She will take him for a week If I give him to the black wolf He will take him for a whole year I won’t give him to anyone And I’ll take care of you my treasure		Ninna nanna, ninna oh, Questo figlio a chi lo do? Se lo do alla Befana se lo tiene una settimana. Se lo do al lupo nero se lo tiene un anno intero. Non lo do a nessuno e lo tengo sempre piu’

Quanti Bambini (contributor - Luigi Spagnolo)		Hear this lullaby Quanti Bambini
There are a lot of babies in the world But none of them is like you. So beautiful, so intelligent, All those who meet you “loose their compass”, They forget their names and where they were going. I love both when you sleep and when you are awake.

Translation in Endlish		Оригинален текст


Lullaby Name1		Аз съм Сънчо (български език)
		Аз съм Сънчо, ида от горица да ви кажа: “Лека нощ, дечица”, че е тъмно вече вън - време е за сън. Щом с фенер звездичките запаля, с приказно перце ще ви погаля. Ето в моите ръце чудното перце. Вече спят цветя, гори, тревички, легнаха в гнездата всички птички. Спят градчета и селца. Лека нощ, деца!
About lullaby		История на песента Рубриката за Сънчо - летящото човече което преспива всички деца тръгва в телевизионното пространство на България на 5 март 1960 г, запечатвайки се в съзнанието на няколко поколения. Дали идваше с еленов впряг, автомобил или летателен апарат (самолет, ракета, с крила), Сънчо винаги идваше от “горица” със своето вълшебно перо с което преспива децата. Образът на къдрокосият Сънчо се доближава много до този на прекрасният млад бог на съня от древногръцката митология – Хипнос, който се носил на свойте крила над земята и допирал вълшебният си жезел до очите на хората след което всички потъвали в дълбок сън. Също толкова емблематична колкото и визията на Сънчо е песничката за него, написана от големият български композитор Петър Ступел, по текст на Димитър Спасов и изпята от Лина Бояджиева.

"Sleep, my dear, fall asleep"		"Спи, моя радость, усни..."(Russian)
The sun is so red		русский текст: С. Свириденко, музыка: Б. Флиса - В.А. Моцарт Спи, моя радость, усни. В доме погасли огни, Дверь ни одна не скрипит, Мышка за печкою спит. Птички уснули в саду, Рыбки заснули в пруду. Глазки скорее сомкни, Спи, моя радость, усни. В доме все стихло давно, В комнате, в кухне темно. Месяц на небе блестит, Месяц в окошко глядит. Кто-то вздохнул за стеной, Что нам за дело, родной? Глазки скорее сомкни, Спи, моя радость, усни. Сладко мой птенчик живет: Нет ни тревог, ни забот, Вдоволь игрушек, сластей, Вдоволь веселых затей. Все-то добыть поспешишь, Только б не плакал малыш! Пусть бы так было все дни! Спи, моя радость, усни! Усни...Усни...
About lullaby		Здесь представлен полный текст колыбельной песни, которая в течение 43 лет использовалась, и продолжает использоваться, в телепередаче для детей "Спокойной ночи, малыши!". Созданная специально для детей 3 - 7 лет, передача не имеет возрастных ограничений, так как вместе с детьми её с удовольствием смотрят мамы и папы, бабушки и дедушки, а колыбельная стала любимым сигналом наступающей ночи.


Lullaby Name2		"Спят усталые игрушки"
		русский текст: З. Петрова музыка: А. Островский Спят усталые игрушки, книжки спят. Одеялоа и подушки ждут ребят. Даже сказка спать ложится, Чтобы ночью нам присниться. Ты ей пожелай: Баю-бай. Обязательно по дому в этот час.. Тихо-тихо ходит дрема возле нас. За окошком все темнее, Утро ночи мудренее. Глазки закрывай, Баю-бай. В сказке можно покататься на луне. И по радуге промчаться на коне. Со слоненком подружиться И поймать перо Жар-птицы Глазки закрывай, Баю-бай. Баю-бай, должны все люди ночью спать. Баю-баю, завтра будет день опять. За день мы устали очень, Скажем всем: "Спокойной ночи!" Глазки закрывай, Баю-бай.

5 Danish Lullabies The Sun is so red, Mother The Elephant’s Lullaby Goodnight Song M other’s Song to Little Hans I will Count the Stars		Vuggeviser dánské Solen er så rød, mor Elefantens vuggevise Godnatsang Mues sang få Hansemand Jeg vil tælle stjernerne


The Sun is so red, Mother		Solen er så rød, mor
The sun is so red, mother and the forest is getting dark. Now, the sun is dead, mother and the day has passed away. The fox is out there, mother we lock our corridor. Come, sit by my side, mother and sing a little song. The sky is so big, mother with clear stars in it. I wonder who is living there, mother on the star out in the blue? Do you think, they are boys, mother who look down on me? And do you think they have beds, mother and sleep just like me? Why does it become night, mother? with cold and bitter wind? Hear the little cat, mother it meows and wants to be let in! Seagulls and terns have no place to live. Hear, the stars are singing now, they sing me to rest.		Solen er så rød, mor og skoven bli'r så sort. Nu er solen død, mor og dagen gået bort. Ræven går derude, mor vi låser vores gang. Kom, sæt dig ved min side, mor og syng en lille sang. Himlen er så stor, mor med klare stjerner på Hvem monstro der bor, mor på stjernen i det blå? Tror du det er drenge, mor der kigger ned på mig? Og tror du de har senge, mor og sover li'som jeg? Hvorfor bli'r det nat, mor med kold og bitter vind? Hør den lille kat, mor den mjaver og vil ind! Mågerne og ternerne har ingen sted at bo. Hør, nu synger stjernerne, de synger mig til ro!

Lyrics: Harald Bergstedt (1877-1965) Music: Carl Nielsen (1865-1931) The boy talks with his mother and asks a lot of questions (as children normally do). Serious/sombre theme: evening comes, and it is associated with the things that a child (or adult) can be afraid of: darkness, death, the evening sounds. In contrast to the “scary things” we have the mother singing to the child and the bright stars, where – in the boy’s imagination – other boys like him are living. (That is: the light and the life in the sky in contrast of the darkness and death in the night.)		Tekst: Harald Bergstedt (1877-1965) Musik: Carl Nielsen (1865-1931) Drengen snakker med sin mor og stiller en masse spørgsmål (som børn gør.). Tematisk set er den lidt dyster / alvorlig. Den handler om, at det bliver nat, og natten knyttes til det barnet / drengen (og såmænd også den voksne) kan være bange for: mørke, død, nattens lyde og uhygge. Som modvægt til de ”uhyggelige ting” er der moderen, som synger for drengen, og de lysende stjerner, hvor drengen forestiller sig, at der bor andre drenge ligesom ham selv. (Altså himlens lys og liv i modsætning til nattens mørke og død..)


The Elephant’s Lullaby		Elefantens vuggevise
Now the stars ignite in the blue sky The half-moon raises its sable I keep watch, so the bad mouse will not sneak into your trunk Sleep tight, little Jumbo, rock-a-bye Now the wood is getting dark Now aunty, the old ostrich, is sleeping And so is your uncle, the rhinoceros. Now the wild beast calls in its sleep In the brushwood of the big lianas And the monkeys sing themselves to sleep, in the cradle of green bananas. Sleep tight, little Jumbo, you little darling You will want for nothing, my friend Tomorrow you will have a coconut That you will use as a rattle. A zebra puts on his pyjamas With black and white stripes A flying squirrel with fluffy legs Sits in the dark and squeaks Sleep tight, little Jumbo, you’ve eaten well? You know nothing of the worry a mother has A little plantation with thousands of reeds That we will pickle tomorrow Listen, the tiger roars its evening song And looks out in all directions At the waterhole, with sharpened claws The black panther sneaks around Sleep silently, little Jumbo, you little mite you cute little beetroot You asked me to tell you a fairy tale Now you are already sleeping.		Nu tændes der stjerner på himlens blå halvmånen løfter sin sabel jeg våger, at ikke de slemme mus skal liste sig op i din snabel. Sov sødt, lille Jumbo, og visselul nu bliver skoven så dunkel nu sover tante, den gamle struds og næsehornet, din onkel. Nu kalder i søvne den vilde gnu i krattet af store lianer og aber synger sig selv i søvn i vuggen af grønne bananer. Sov sødt, lille Jumbo, dit lille pus slet intet, min ven, skal du mangle i morgen får du en kokosnød og den skal du bruge som rangle. En zebra tager sin natdragt på med sorte og hvide striber et flyveegern med lådne ben sidder i mørket og piber. Sov sødt, lille Jumbo, nu er du vel mæt? du kender ej husmodersorgen en lille plantage på tusinde rør dem skal vi ha' syltet i morgen. Hør, tigeren brøler sin aftensang og spejder mod alle kanter ved vadestedet, med slebet klo der lister den sorte panter. Sov tyst, lille Jumbo, dit lille myr din nuttede lille rødbede du bad mig fortælle et eventyr nu sover du sødt allerede.

Lyrics: Harald H. Lund (1902-87) Music: Mogens Jermiin Nissen (1906-72) Very popular; A “classic” among Danish lullabies. Exotic animals as theme. Simple and easily understood by a child. Made politically correct in the 1990s: The text, ”I morgen får du en negerdukkedreng, og den skal du bruge som rangle.” (Tomorrow you will have a negro boy doll that you will use as a rattle) Was changed to : “I morgen får du en kokosnød (coconut), og den skal du bruge som rangle.”		Tekst: Harald H. Lund (1902-87) Musik: Mogens Jermiin Nissen (1906-72) Nyere (fra det 20. årh.), men en kassisk blandt de danske vuggeviser. Vuggevisen har eksotiske dyr som tema -- enkelt og forståeligt for barnet (trods enkelte svære/voksne ord).vuggevisen blev gjort politisk korrekt i 90’erne – ’negerdukkedreng’ blev ændret til ’kokusnød’.



Goodnight Song		Godnatsang
Now the sun has gone to bed Outside, night lies in wait We must sleep now, We must rest our body, Because tomorrow we must get up. The calmness of night is descending All becomes calm, all breathes peace. We must sleep now, We must rest our body, but tomorrow we will get up. To a lovely day with music, Friends, play and some sweets We must sleep now, We must rest our body, Now the moon has risen.		Nu er solen gået i seng, udenfor står natten på spring. Vi skal sove nu, vi skal hvile vores krop, for i morgen skal vi op. Nattens stilhed sænker sig ned, alt bli'r roligt, alt ånder fred. Vi skal sove nu, vi skal hvile vores krop, men i morgen står vi op. Til en dejlig dag med musik, kammerater, leg og lidt slik. Vi skal sove nu, vi skal hvile vores krop, nu er månen stået op.

Lyrics: Marie Thulesen (1878-?) Melody: Oluf Ring (1884-1946) Reference: Johan Severin, ”Vore vuggeviser” (Our Lullabies), pp. 35-36 Written in Jutlandic – a dialect used in Jutland. The mother sings for her little boy, Hans, who must sleep. She is tired after a long day’s work. It is hard on both her and the children that she has to work on the farm, and that she has to be away from them for long hours. But things will get better and she will have more time for home when the harvest season is over, and the family will earn some money and thus can afford to buy the children boots for the coming winter season. She ends the song by speculating on the children’s future, when they grow up and will leave home and live their own lives. She promises to think of them everyday and to pray to God that they have a good life.		Tekst: Marie Thulesen (1878-?) Musik: Oluf Ring (1884-1946) Reference: Johan Severin, ”Vore vuggeviser” (Our Lullabies), pp. 35-36 En gammel vuggevise (teksten er fra første halvdel af det 20. årh.). Skrevet på Jysk - dialekt. Moren synger for sin lille dreng, der skal sove. Hun er træt efter en lang dags arbejde. Hun synger om, at det er hårdt både for hende og for børnene, at hun må gå på arbejde (landbrug) og er væk fra børnene så længe. Men det bliver bedre / hun får mere tid derhjemme, når høsten er forbi, og så får familien også lidt flere penge og råd til at købe vinterfodtøj til børnene. Til sidst spekulerer hun på, hvordan det skal gå børnene, når de bliver store og skal hjemmefra (ud at tjene). Hun vil tænke på dem hver dag og bede til Gud om, at det vil gå dem godt. Moren taler til sit barn om sine bekymringer og håbet om, at det vil gå børnene godt.


I will Count the Stars		Jeg vil tælle stjernerne
I will count the stars, Now when there is peace But it is so hard To count them all I must use my fingers To count them But Ole’s little hand, Has only five. Five and five is only ten. Off with shoes and socks! I need to count my toes To have enough. There are still not enough. Thousands of stars twinkle. It was much easier If I counted moons.		Jeg vil tælle stjernerne, nu hvor der er fred. Men det er så svært at få alle sammen med. Jeg må bruge fingrene for at tælle dem. Men på Oles lille hånd er der bare fem. Fem og fem er bare ti. Af med sko og sok! Jeg må tælle mine tæer, hvis jeg skal få nok. Der er ikke nok endnu. Tusind stjerner blåner. Det var meget nemmere, hvis jeg talte måner.

I say e e e …. Nani mine nani nani and wherever it hurts will heal. Nani mine, whom I enjoy as the olive of its leaf. As the little birds of the water and the mountains of the sun. E…e…e…e		Κάμω ε ε ε… Νάνι μού το, νάνι νάνι κι όπου μου πονεί να γιάνει. Νάνι το, που να το χαρώ, σαν η ελιά το φύλλο. Σαν τα πουλάκια το νερό και τα βουνά τον ήλιο. Ε ε ε ε….

About this Lullaby		Για το Νανούρισμα
This lullaby originates from the Island of Kalymnos, one of the Dodecanese Islands situated in the south-eastern Aegean Sea. This island combines the beauty of the mountains, the scents of oregano and thyme together with crystal waters. In this particular lullaby, the lyrics are influenced by the beauty of nature. Kalymnos is also famous for sponge fishing and the production of olive oil, which explains the references to olive trees and the sun which is essential to them. Apart from the words ‘nani-nani’ here, we also have the sound ‘e e e,’ a very common and popular motive of Greek lullabies. As in all traditional Greek lullabies its year of origin is unknown as well as the composer and the lullaby’s lyricist.		Το συγκεκριμένο νανούρισμα προέρχεται από την Κάλυμνο, ένα νησί των Δωδεκανήσων, που βρίσκεται στο νοτιο- ανατολικό Αιγαίο. Η Κάλυμνος συνδυάζει από τη μια την ομορφιά των βουνών με τις μυρωδιές της ρίγανης και του θυμαριού κι από την άλλη, τις υπέροχες παραλίες με τα κρυστάλινα νερά. Σ’αυτό το νανούρισμα οι στοίχοι είναι βαθιά επηρεασμένοι από την ομορφιά της φύσης. Η Κάλυμνος είναι φημισμένη για τα σφουγγάρια της και την παραγωγή ελαιόλαδου. Έτσι εξηγούνται οι αναφορές στις ελιές και στον ήλιο, που τους είναι απαραίτητος. Εκτός από τις λέξεις «νάνι-νάνι», εδώ βρίσκουμε και τον ήχο ε..ε.εεε, ένα πολύ συνηθισμένο μοτίβο των Ελληνικών νανουρισμάτων. Όπως σχεδόν με όλα τα παραδοσιακά Ελληνικά νανουρίσματα, έτσι και στην περίπτωση αυτή άγνωστοι παραμένουν ο συνθέτης, ο στοιχουργός και το έτος συγγραφής.


Nani nani my child		Νάνι νάνι το παιδί μου
Nani nani my child. Come Sleep make it sleep and sweetly lull it. Come Sleep from the vineyards take my child from the hands. Take it to the sheepcote to sleep like a little lamb, to sleep like a little lamb, and to wake up like a little goat.		Νάνι νάνι το παιδί μου. Έλα Ύπνε ύπνωσέ το και γλυκά ‘ποκοίμησέ το. Έλα ύπνε 'πό τ’ αμπέλια, πάρ’ το παιδί μου από τα χέρια. Πάρ’ το σύρ’ το στα μαντράκια, να κοιμάται σαν τ’ αρνάκια, να κοιμάται σαν τ’ αρνάκια, να ξυπνά σαν τα κατσικάκια.
About this Lullaby		Για το Νανούρισμα
This lullaby originates from mountainous Kastoria, a Greek city situated in Western Macedonia. Many crops are cultivated in the region which is especially famous for its vineyards, as mentioned in the lullaby. Livestock breeding is also very common there, which explains references to the lamb, goat and sheepcote. Another interesting element here is the use of diminutives, e.g. little sheep, little goat, etc. Diminutives are used in the Greek language to indicate not only smallness but also deep affection. As in all traditional Greek lullabies its year of origin is unknown as well as the composer and the lullaby’s lyricist.		Το νανούρισμα αυτό προέρχεται από την ορεινή Kαστοριά, μια πόλη της Δυτικής Μακεδονίας. Η περιοχή φημίζεται για τις καλλιέργειές της, ειδικά για τα αμπέλια της, τα οποία και αναφέρονται στο νανούρισμα. Επίσης, η κτηνοτροφία είναι ιδιαίτερα ανεπτυγμένη στην περιοχή. Αυτό εξηγεί τις αναφορές στα αρνιά, τις κατσίκες και τα μαντράκια. Ένα πολύ ενδιαφέρον στοιχείο της ελληνικής γλώσσας, τα υποκοριστικά εμφανίζεται εδω, π.χ. αρνάκια, κατσικάκια, μαντράκια. Τα υποκοριστικά χρησιμοποιούνται στα Ελληνικά για να δηλώσουν όχι τόσο κάτι μικρό σε μέγεθος, αλλά στοργή και οικειότητα. Όπως σχεδόν με όλα τα παραδοσιακά Ελληνικά νανουρίσματα, έτσι και στην περίπτωση αυτή άγνωστοι παραμένουν ο συνθέτης, ο στοιχουργός και το έτος συγγραφής.


Sleep, who takes little ones		Ύπνε, που παίρνεις τα μικρά
Sleep, who takes the little ones come, take this one too. Young - so young I gave it to you, grown-up bring it back to me. Tall as a high mountain, straight as a cypress tree. And its branches outstretched to the East and West.		Ύπνε, που παίρνεις τα μικρά έλα, πάρε και τούτο. Μικρό- μικρό σου το ‘δωσα, μεγάλο φέρε μού το. Μεγάλο σαν ψηλό βουνό, ίσιο σαν κυπαρίσσι. Κι οι κλώνοι του ν’ απλώνονται σ’ Ανατολή και Δύση.
About this Lullaby		Για το Νανούρισμα
This lullaby, originally created on the Island of Thassos (northern Aegean Sea) is heard all over Greece with numerous variations. The element of ‘Sleep’ (‘Ύπνος’) is central. In many Greek lullabies they address ‘Sleep,’ who is kindly asked to take the baby in his arms and help it go to sleep. According to Greek mythology ‘Ύπνος’ was the God of sleep. His mother was the ‘Night’ and his sons were the ‘Dreams.’ In this lullaby there are also references to the East and the West which indicate the vastness of the world. The mother wishes her baby to grow up, be as tall as a mountain and as straight as a cypress tree, and to achieve great things both in the East and the West, meaning all over the world. As in all traditional Greek lullabies its year of origin is unknown as well as the composer and the lullaby’s lyricist.		Το νανούρισμα αυτό προέρχεται από τη Θάσο, ένα νησί του βόρειου Αιγαίου, αλλά μπορεί κανείς να το ακούσει σε όλη την Ελλάδα, σε διάφορες εκδοχές. Εδώ, το στοιχείο του «Ύπνου» είναι πολύ βασικό. Σε πολλά Ελληνικά νανουρίσματα προσφωνούν τον Ύπνο, ζητώντας του να πάρει το μωρό στην αγκαλιά του και να το γλυκοκοιμήσει. Σύμφωνα με την Ελληνική μυθολογία ο Ύπνος ήταν ο θεός του ύπνου. Μητέρα του ήταν η Νύχτα και παιδιά του τα Όνειρα. Ακόμα, στο νανούρισμα αυτό γίινονται αναφορές στην Ανατολή και τη Δύση. Αυτά τα δύο σημεία του ορίζοντα οριοθετούν κατά κάποι τρόπο τις δύο άκρες του κόσμου και υποδηλώνουν τη μεγαλοσύνη. Πιο συγκεκριμένα, η μητέρα εύχεται το παιδί της να μεγαλώσει, να είναι γερό σαν ψηλό βουνό και λυγερόκορμο σαν κυπαρίσσι και τα κλαδιά του να απλώνωνται σ’Ανατολή και Δύση, δηλαδή να γίνει σπουδαίο σ’ όλο τον κόσμο. Όπως σχεδόν με όλα τα παραδοσιακά Ελληνικά νανουρίσματα, έτσι και στην περίπτωση αυτή άγνωστοι παραμένουν ο συνθέτης, ο στοιχουργός και το έτος συγγραφής.


My Sleep, take it from me		Ύπνε μου, επάρε μού το
My Sleep, take it from me and take it to the gardens and fill its apron with roses and roses. The red roses for its mother, the red roses for its father and the white roses for its godfather and the white roses for its godfather.		Ύπνε μου, επάρε μού το κι άμε το στα περβόλια και την ποδιά του γέμισε τριαντάφυλλα και ρόδα. Τα ρόδα να’ν’ της μάνας του, τα ρόδα του κυρού του και τ’ άσπρα τριαντάφυλλα να’ναι του σάντουλού του, και τ' άσπρα τριαντάφυλλα να'ναι του σάντουλού του.
About this Lullaby		Για το Νανούρισμα
This lullaby originates from Southern Italy. Greek-speaking populations have lived in that part of Italy since the 8th century B.C., when the first Greek colonies were established in the regions of Salento, Calabria, Taras and Metapontio. These areas have a large production of roses, which somehow explains the references to roses and their assortments in the lullaby. The word ‘santoulos’ is of Italian origin and means ‘godfather.’ As in all traditional Greek lullabies its year of origin is unknown as well as the composer and the lullaby’s lyricist.		Το νανούρισμα αυτό προέρχεται από την Κάτω Ιταλία. Ελληνόφωνοι πληθισμοί (γνωστοί ως οι «Ελλωνόφωνοι της Κάτω Ιταλίας») ζούνε στη συγκεκριμένη περιοχή από τον 8ο π.Χ. αιώνα, όταν εγκαταστάθηκαν οι πρώτοι ‘Ελληνες στις περιοχές του Σαλέντο, Καλαβρία, Τάραντας και Μεταπόντιο. Στις περιοχές αυτές καλλιεργούνται τριαντάφυλλα σε διάφορες πικοιλίες. ‘Ετσι εξηγούνται οι αναφορές σε ρόδα και τριαντάφυλλα στο συγκεκριμένο νανούρισμα. Η λέξη ‘santoulos’ που χρησιμοποιείται εδώ, είναι ιταλικής προέλευσης και σημαίνει «ο νονός». Όπως σχεδόν με όλα τα παραδοσιακά Ελληνικά νανουρίσματα, έτσι και στην περίπτωση αυτή άγνωστοι παραμένουν ο συνθέτης, ο στοιχουργός και το έτος συγγραφής.


The sun sleeps on the mountains		Τζοιμάται ο ήλιος στα βουνά
The sun sleeps on the mountains and the partridge in the woods let also my baby sleep to get enough of sleep. Whisper to her Don’t wake her up. The sun sleeps on the mountains and the partridge in the snow let also my baby sleep on clean sheets. To nani nani my baby to heal.		Τζοιμάται ο ήλιος στα βουνά τζι πέρτικα στα δάση να τζοιμηθεί τζιαι το μωρόν τον ύπνο να χορτάσει. Σιγά σιγά μιλάτε της μην μου την εξυπνάτε. Τζοιμάται ο ήλιος στα βουνά τζι πέρτικα στα σιόνια να τζοιμηθεί τζι η κόρη μου σε καθαρά σεντόνια. Να κάμει νάνι νάνι του το βρέφος μου να γιάνει.
About this Lullaby		Για το Νανούρισμα
This lullaby is of Greek origin. Its place of origin is the island of Aegina situated near the city of Athens. Passing on to the island of Cyprus it was converted to the Cypriot dialect and also some lyrics were added. The original Greek lullaby found had only the first paragraph. There is no information of its year of origin as well as of the composer and the lullaby’s lyricist. We also do not know how it was introduced and changed in Cyprus. The lullaby talks about the time of sunset when both the sun and the cartridge sleep and so should the baby. The mother lulls her baby trying to make her/him fall asleep. Τhe baby should be surrounded only by whispers so that she/he will not wake up. The lullaby also refers to the healing qualities of sleep. The last verse “my baby to heal” shows the conviction of sleep being a healer.		το νανούρισμα είναι Ελληνικής καταγωγής και προέρχεται από την Αίγινα. Περνώντας στο νησί της Κύπρου μετατράπηκε στη Κυπριακή διάλεκτο. Κάποιοι στίχοι προστέθηκαν αφού στην ελληνική έκδοση βρίσκουμε μόνο την πρώτη παράγραφο. Δεν υπάρχουν πληροφορίες για τον στιχουργό ή για την μεταφορά του στη Κύπρο και για το ποιος έκανε τις αλλαγές και πότε. Το νανούρισμα μιλά για την ώρα του ηλιοβασιλέματος που ο ήλιος και η πέρδικα κοιμούνται και το ίδιο πρέπει να κάνει και το παιδί. Η μητέρα νανουρίζει το μωρό της προσπαθώντας να το αποκοιμίσει. Γύρω πρέπει να ακούγονται μόνο ψίθυροι για να μην ξυπνήσει το μωρό. Το μωρό πρέπει να κοιμηθεί αρκετά. Το νανούρισμα αναφέρεται επίσης στις θεραπευτικές ικανότητες του ύπνου. Ο τελευταίος στίχος «το βρέφος μου να γιάνει» δείχνει τη πεποίθηση ότι ο ύπνος γιατρεύει.


Sleep, my little baby		Κοιμήσου συ μωράκι μου
Sleep, my little baby, in a walnut cradle wearing needlepoint and pearl clothes. Come, Christ and Virgin Mary, and take it to the gardens and fill his bossom with flowers, violets. Sleep, my little child, and your Fortune is working, carrying and bringing your good destiny. Sleeps youth, sleeps youth, sleeps youth moon my little baby sleeps on the white pillow. Sleep feeds babies and health grows them up and Lady Virgin Mary gives them a good dawn.		Κοιμήσου συ, μωράκι μου, σε κούνια καρυδένια, σε ρουχαλάκια κεντητά και μαργαριταρένια. Έλα, Χριστέ και Παναγιά, και πάρ’ το στους μπαξέδες και γέμισε τους κόρφους του λουλούδια, μενεξέδες. Κοιμήσου συ, παιδάκι μου, κι η μοίρα σου δουλεύει και το καλό σου ριζικό σου κουβαλεί και φέρνει. Κοιμάται νιο, κοιμάται νιο, κοιμάται νιο φεγγάρι, κοιμάται το παιδάκι μου στ’ άσπρο το μαξιλάρι. Ο ύπνος τρέφει τα μωρά κι η υγειά τα μεγαλώνει και η κυρά η Παναγιά τα καλοξημερώνει.
About this Lullaby		Για το Νανούρισμα
This lullaby is of Greek origin, most likely from the regions of East Macedonia and Thrace. We can figure out the origin of the lullaby by the main theme of it, as it is very common in many lullabies whose origin comes from the northern part of Greece and also from the use of a particular word («μπαξέδες», turkish word meaning “gardens”) which is used more often in the regions of East Macedonia and Thrace than elsewhere in Greece. The mother lulls her baby using loving and tender words. She is telling to her baby about his clothes and his cradle, she asks from Christ and Virgin Mary to take it to the paradise gardens, wishing his sleep to be as nice as being in paradise. She is also telling to it about his Fortune (Fortune is referred here like a goddess), who, during the time of his sleep, is putting efforts into his lucky destiny. She admires her baby as it sleeps on the white pillow, as it resembles the moon. In the end, she is saying a well known proverb, which is very common in Greek lullabies, about the healing qualities of sleep and health, and also about Virgin Mary which protects all children.		Το νανούρισμα αυτό προέρχεται πιθανότατα από τις περιοχές της Αν. Μακεδονίας και της Θράκης. Μπορούμε να καταλάβουμε για την καταγωγή του νανουρίσματος από το μοτίβο που επαναλαμβάνεται σε πολλά νανουρίσματα και παραλλαγές τους που προέρχονται από τη Βόρεια Ελλάδα, αλλά και από τη χρήση της λέξης «μπαξέδες» (λέξη τουρκική που σημαίνει "κήποι") η οποία χρησιμοποιείται περισσότερο στην Αν. Μακεδονία - Θράκη, από ότι σε άλλες περιοχές. Η μητέρα απευθύνεται στο μωρό της με λόγια τρυφερά και γλυκά προσπαθώντας να το κοιμίσει. Του μιλάει για τα ρούχα του και την κούνια του και παρακαλεί τον Χριστό και την Παναγία να το πάρουν και να το πάνε στους «μπαξέδες» (στον παράδεισο), εννοώντας να είναι τόσο ευχάριστος ο ύπνος του όσο είναι και στον Παράδεισο. Του λέει επίσης για την μοίρα του (η μοίρα αναφέρεται εδώ σαν θεότητα) που κατά την ώρα του ύπνου του δουλεύει για το καλό του τυχερό. Θαυμάζει το μωρό της που μοιάζει με το φεγγάρι όταν κοιμάται πάνω στο άσπρο μαξιλάρι. Τέλος, αναφέρει μια ρήση, που απαντάται συχνά στα Ελληνικά νανουρίσματα, σχετικά με τις ευεργετικές ιδιότητες του ύπνου και της υγείας αλλά και με τη Παναγία, που προστατεύει όλα τα παιδιά.

All my duckies Are swimming on the lake, Are swimming on the lake, Head into the water, Tail into the air.		Alle meine Entchen schwimmen auf dem See, schwimmen auf dem See. Köpfchen in dem Wasser, Schwänzchen in die Höh. Alle meine Täubchen gurren auf dem Dach, gurren auf dem Dach. Fliegt eins in die Lüfte, fliegen alle nach. Alle meine Hühner scharren in dem Stroh, scharren in dem Stroh. Finden sie ein Körnchen, sind sie alle froh. Alle meine Gänschen watscheln durch den Grund, watscheln durch den Grund. Suchen in dem Tümpel, werden kugelrund.




Sleep, child sleep		Schlaf, Kindlein, Schlaf
Sleep, child sleep. The father takes care of the sheep, The mother shakes the tree, Tthere falls down a dream. Sleep, child sleep.		Schlaf, Kindlein schlaf. Der Vater hüt' die Schaf, Die Mutter schüttelt's Bäumelein, Da fällt herab ein Träumelein. Schlaf, Kindlein schlaf.



By Baby Bunting
Bye baby bunting Daddy’s gone a hunting Gone to get a rabbit skin To wrap his baby bunting in		In old English cradle songs were called Byssinge, the prefix by meaning slumber. This joyous little song is as old as English nursery rhymes. English mothers have sung it to their babies and it is familiar wherever the English language is spoken. The melody has come through the years unchanged. As in the case of lullabies of many other lands, the promise of a reward for good behaviour is offered to the child. In current English the word bunting may refer to a kind of bird or a soft, thick cloth. Or it may often be simply a term of endearment.


Lavender's blue
Lavender's blue, dilly dilly, Lavender's green When I am King, dilly dilly, you shall be Queen Call up your man, dilly, dilly Set them to work Some to the plough, dilly dilly, Some to the fork Lavender's blue, dilly dilly, Lavender's green When you are King, dilly dilly, I shall be Queen Call up your man, dilly, dilly Set them to work Some to the plough, dilly dilly, Some to the fork		Lavender’s blue is a traditional song used as a lullaby. It is not known who it was written by or when, but it dates back to at least the 1680s. Like many lullabies it has probably been passed down through generations and has changed every time. An alternative opening is ‘Lavender‘s blue, dilly dilly, rosemary’s green’.


Twinkle twinkle little star
Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are. Up above the world so high, like a diamond in the sky Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are		This is one of the popular English nursery rhymes. It combines the tune of the 1761 French melody ‘Ah! Vous dirai-je, Maman’ with an English poem, ‘The Star’ by Jane Taylor. The poem, which is in couplet form, was first published in 1806 in Rhymes for the Nursery, a collection of poems by Taylor and her sister Ann. The English lyrics have five verses, although only he first is widely known. Mozart wrote twelve variations on Twinkle, Twinkle, Little star, listed as Variations on ‘Ah! Vous dirai-je, Maman’.



Scottish Lullaby
Oh, hush thee, my baby, Thy sire was a knight, Thy mother a lady, Both lovely and bright; The woods and the glens, From the towers which we see, They all are belonging, Dear baby, to thee. Oh, hush thee, my baby, Thy sire was a knight, Oh, hush thee, my baby, So bonnie, so bright. Oh, fear not the bugle, Tho' loudly it blows, It calls but the warders That guard thy repose; Their bows would be bended, Their blades would be red, Ere the step of a foeman Draws near to thy bed. Oh, hush thee, my baby, Thy sire was a knight,		From the proud clans of the Scottish Highlands comes this traditional melody. Only the air Cdul gu lo (Sleep on till dawn) and not the original Scottish verses were used when a dramatization of Sir Walter Scott’s Guy Mannering was presented. For this, Sir Walter Scott composed the verses ‘Lullaby for an Infant Child’. The history of the Highlands and the interminable wars by which the clans were able o reserve their hard-won independence against overwhelming odds are evoked in this first song for an infant. The dream is of the trumpet and the ideal s manhood. The lines of this lullaby are familiar to us as a nursery rhyme. They are but a curtailed version of Sir Walter Scott’s verses.


Hush, little baby
Hush, little baby, don't say a word. Papa's gonna buy you a mockingbird And if that mockingbird won't sing, Papa's gonna buy you a diamond ring if that diamond ring turns brass, Papa's gonna buy you a looking glass if that looking glass gets broke, Papa's gonna buy you a billy goat if that billy goat won't pull, Papa's gonna buy you a cart and bull And if that cart and bull turn over, Papa's gonna buy you a dog named Rover And if that dog named Rover won’t bark, Papa’s gonna buy a horse and cart. And if that horse and cart fall down, You'll still be the sweetest little baby in town		This is another traditional lullaby and again we do not know who wrote it or when, although it is thought to be American (mockingbirds are from the American continent). The lyrics promise all kind of rewards to the child if he or she is quite.
