Latvian Mother’s Sang This Song to Their Babies

Tweet

In English we had and enjoyed “Rock-a-bye-Baby” as @MarieCoyle reminded us. In Latvian is was “Aija Zu Zu Laca Berni” and I found the English translation online. The YouTube link is in Latvian but you can at least hear the music to this lullaby. Hush-a-bye, hush, my bear cubs, hush-a-bye, hush, With your little brown bear feet, hush, hush, hush With your little brown bear feet, hush, hush, hush. Father went to collect honey, hush-a-bye, hush, Mother, to pick berries, hush, hush, hush, Mother, to pick berries, hush, hush, hush. Father brought a honey pot, hush-a-bye, hush, Mother, a basket of berries, hush, hush, hush, Mother, a basket of berries, hush, hush, hush. It's all for baby, hush-a-bye, hush, To sleep peacefully, hush, hush, hush, To sleep peacefully, hush, hush, hush.
