Lullabies..Did you ever sing them? What is a famous lullaby in your country?

I use to sing lullabies to my son too.He liked lay in my arms and listen me sign ,by the way I have terrible voice but for him was perfect.Now he is 11 and he find himself too old for lullabies .What was the Greek one you song to yours ?

I sing a lullby in Hindi, its a popular number from an old movie. It goes like this "Nanhi kali sone chali" It means , "little bud is about to fall asleep , oh! wind blow slowly bring the wings of the sleep with you and rock her cradle before you leave. My doll is like a ray of moon and she has been raised with lot of pampering If today moonlight you are coming down to my street then hum a song to her very slowly. if the strand of silk clings to her tiny feet or if one of the bells make a noise (a piece of jewellery called payal worn on feet has lots of them) and my little princess wakes up Oh! sleep then come and rock her back to sleep." the song is worded and tuned so beautifully that I loved this song. Believe it or not but my daughter'seyes lit up whenever I say the words, "doll like a moon ray" and "my little princess" always. I sincerely believes she understands the song and knows its about her. Sometimes she sings it by saying aaaaaa along with me and goes to sleep. I hope she would remember it when she grows up.

i have heard my wife singing something to make my son sleep three years ago. i didn't remember the song, it's not famous. now the young mother can't sing any lullabies again here.

I do lullabies my daughter when she goes sleep. We sing together and always two different language lullabies songs. One called called "slaap kindje slaap" (in Dutch) and the other one called "nina bobo"(in Indonesian). When she doesn't want to go to sleep she will lullabies me instead....hehehe. Nice try...

I am from Malaysia and I would say my favorites are "Tepuk Amai - Amai" and "Burung Kakak Tua". I can still sing both of them now and I would be singing that to my first child soon.

here in the philippines, the most famous lullaby i know of is "ugoy ng duyan" which means a slight move of the baby swing. well, it's hard to explain. but it's soppy, too and even now, it makes most people cry when hearing it. the lyrics says that mom is the greatest person to put a baby to sleep. and it's really cute and touchy!

The most widely used lullaby in Sri Lanka goes as follows, when translated from Sinhala to English: Sleep, sleep, sleep, Baby Sleep, sleep, sleep, Baby Your mother went to bring milk She wanted more milk The pot of milk flowed through the river Storks flew over the river. Your Mum is dark, dark, dark Your Dad is dark, dark, dark Your Granpa is dark, dark, dark But you are Tan, tan tan.

My daughter loves me singing lullablies to her. She likes: 'rock a by baby', 'tinkle, tinkle, little star', 'hush little baby'.

O yes I did sing her lullaby's, and even when she was much older, and went through the normal puppy love, and disappointments. The one famous, not in my country, but in our family is "Slaap my kindjie" and it means sleep my little one, and then it goes on saying my you have the sweetest of dreams, and God willing wake up refreshed tomorrow. That was just roughly translated. She is a 28 and still remembers it.

LOL...yan, this reminds me of the many collection of lullabies that I have. I bought it when I first got pregnant. My personal favorite is a CD entitled "Melodies for Babies." Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head, Top of the World, I Dreamed A Dream and Some Enchanted Evening are some the songs included in the CD. Every time I played it, the feeling of nostalgia will set in. It always stop what I'm doing and I will reflect on the time when I'm still pregnant with my first child and the day I gave birth to her. It saddened me and be proud as well.

I used to sing to may children when they were little and I know my mum used to sing them to me, my favourite always is rock a bye baby.

Yes , we sing lot of songs and famous one is " lala lala lori dhoodh ki katori doodh mein patasha munni kare tamasha " . I feel you won't understand it. It means a small girl is about to sleep and we are helping her to sleep.

Whenever I put my daughter to sleep, I sing her "Rock-A-Bye, Baby", "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star", and some other slow nursery rhyme that I could think of..
