Do you remember what lullabies they used to sing to you when you were little? And if you have kids, which do you sing to your them?

My mother had a very weird selection for me lol weird to say the least...no wonder i grew up the little revolutionary rebel i became...she was often singing me the standard lullabies but her favourites were some patriotic italian songs from the resistance against fascism http://www.youtube.com/wa...

And one from our greatest songwriters, or poets rather...the song is called GEORDIE and it's about an English outlaw: his girlfriend in the song is pleading to the King not to kill her Geordie since he only stole once 6 deers from the king's park selling them for money...there was a beautiful version of this from him in duet with the great Joan Baez but unfortunately it's not on youtube...

i still love this song and find it extremely beautiful and sad...i could come up with some translation if you are interested...

"Bella ciao" is one of my favorites. I remember that song. It was so popular in Europe. We were singing it at scout camps...lol
I know that it is about partisan, but it is very easy to sign and I love the part "o bella, ciao! bella, ciao! bella, ciao, ciao, ciao!"
This is my best Italian...non parlo Italiano bene....

Hi Jo,
I remember Bella Ciao, it was very popular when I was back in school and in scout camps.
We had it translated in our language and I remember one punk version of the song.
It was a song of Italian partisans and I can remember some words: O partigiano porta mi via, che mi sento di morir.
I don't remember my mom singing lullabies to me, but I sing to my kids. My younger one loves the one that goes:
In the room on the white pillow
And in the woods besides the old log,
We all should put our hand under our cheek,
Time has come to dream a sweet dream.


myLot reputation of 75/100. JoMarch (2195)  5 years ago

Aw you knew it too? lol so popular indeed :P
and yes, you remember it right :)

Ah that sounds sweet the one you sing to your song :) thank you for sharing hon
