Go to sleep little childOld woman sat winding yarnOld man played the bugleThe farm hand threshed the cornThe wolf pulled, the sloven whippedThe black girl drove.

The poor little one who isFar away from home

Water and snow reached his kneesNo breeches on his thighs.

Kuss kusselilull boil a kettle fullThree suitors arrived.One was halt and the other blindThe third was so fearfulHe darent go inBut said boo behind the door.

Duibhe ag titim an l geal ag teitheadhAch ralta ar lasadh ag danamh dinn sl,Cinas ar leathadh s an piste na chodladhMo neart agus maisling im bhaclainn na lu.

Codail a leanbh i dtr nach bhfuil brn annTiocfaidh an mhaidin is imn an tsaoil,Sochin mar dhon ort, s ar mhuintir an t seo,Bris dh an l bn is imeoidh an phian.

Codail a leanbh faoi shonas r ndchaisFeic mid Parthas ag deireadh an lae,Codail go suaimhneach, a leanna mo chlibheCodail go fill beag go dtaga r r.

Evening of RosesEvening of rosesLet us go out to the groveMyrrh, spices and incenseA carpet to walk on

The night approaches slowlyA breeze of roses waftsLet me whisper a song to you quietlyA song of love.

At dawn, a dove is cooingYour hair is lled with dewYour lips to the morning are like a roseI shall pick it for myself.

8. Childrens Song No. 1InstrumentalGuitarist Forbes Henderson arranged many of Chick Coreas 20 Childrens Songs for guitar. Jason has taken his arrangement and just played with the sections as he wanted to.From EUCD1603, Evocativa - Jason Carter

9. Donna DonnaA young calf, bound with rope, is laid on a cart. Up above in the sky a swallow flies high.Chorus: The autumn wind laughs and plays from early morning to the middle of the night.Why are you mooing? the farmer asks the calf, If you had grown two wings you could have flown too.Calves, without knowing why, always go to be slaughtered. But those, whose hearts yearn for freedom fly high like the swallow.From EUCD1513, Folksongs from Israel - The Burning Bush

10. Rocking the CradleInstrumentalCatherine learned this beautiful slow air from the playing of Paddy Taylor, the flute player from Loughill in County Limerick. It tells the story of the old man who was betrayed by the young woman.From EUCD2156, Irish Folk At Its Best

12. Gaelic Cradle SongFrom EUCD2150, Celtic Lullabies - Margie Butler

Hush the waves are rolling in,White with foam, white with foam,Father toils amid the din,But baby sleeps at home, at home.

Hush the winds roar hoarse and deep,On they come, on they come,Brother seeks the lazy sheep,But baby sleeps at home, at home.

Hush the rain sweeps oer the knowes*,Where they roam, where they roam,Sister goes to seek the cows,But baby sleeps at home, at home.

* ewes

13. Isililo sentandane (The Mourning Orphan)In this song an orphan bemoans his loss. He has no parents because they both passed away. He asks the world how he should face the world alone. With whom should he share his miseries and problems? The chorus asks him not to cry, for the Lord God will always watch over him.From EUCD2199, Mbube and Gospel from Southern Africa - Blessings Nqo

Ngizoluqeda ngani usizi lokulahlekelwa yizihlobo?How will I overcome the misery of losing my relatives?

Ngisele ngingedwa, bazali bangishiyaI am alone, my parents passed away

Ngisele ngingedwa, ngikhala ngiyintandaneI am alone, mourning as an orphan

Uma ngihluphekile, ngizobikela bani?If I have problems who will I talk to?

Uma ngilambile, ngizotshela bani?If I am hungry, who will I tell?

Ngisele ngingedwa, bazali bangishiyaI am alone, my parents passed away

Thula ntandane, U Somandla ukhona umdali wethuWeep not, dear orphan, God our creator is there for you.

15. LullabyInstrumentalFrom EUCD2150, Celtic Lullabies - Margie Butler

16. Nenneko (Lullaby)InstrumentalThis is a lullaby sung in various parts of Japan, passed down from generation to generation. When I was very young, my mother used to sing it for me. She had her own words for this song, which I found out later, when I came across the original lyrics. I wrote this melody for my children to listen to on the koto instead of my singing. Nenneko means something like hush-a-by baby. It appears in many lullabies and is sung quietly as if a mother was gently speaking to her baby.From EUCD1907, The Art of the Japanese Koto - Aiko Hasegawa

17. Si Hei Lwli (Lullaby)From EUCD2222, Celtic Folk from Wales

1. Cuddles (Kuscheln)InstrumentalIch nannte den Song Cuddles, da ich ihn zur Schlafenszeit meiner Kinder spielte. Kein Didj, aber das macht nichts. Einen Teil der Verlagsrechte und die daraus entstehenden Lizenzen berlasse ich dem MALPA Projekt, einem speziellen medizinischen Programm fr Kinder im Outback, in dem Kinder, die Nungkarri- (traditionelle Heiler der Aborigines) Fhigkeiten haben, unterstzt werden, sich um andere Kinder zu kmmern.Von EUCD2370, Didj Heart - Charlie McMahon & Gondwana
