Lullabies by musical instruments Traditional listen online
Sleep, o babe, for the red-bee hums
The silent twilight's fall:
Aibheall fromt he Grey Rock comes
To wrap the world in thrall.
A leanbhan o, my child, my joy,
My love and heart's-desire,
The crickets sing you lullaby
Beside the dying fire.
Dusk is drawn, and the Green Man's Thorn
Is wreathed in rings of fog:
Siabhra sails his boat till morn
Upon the Starry Bog.
A leanbhan o, the pale half moon
Hath brimmed her cusp in dew,
And weeps to hear the sad sleep-tune
I sing, O love, to you.
The October winds lament
around the castle of Dromore
Yet peace is in her lofty halls
My loving treasure store
Though Autumn leaves may droop and die
a bud of spring are you sing hush-a-by
loo,la-lo,la lan
sing hush-a-by loo la lo
Bring no ill will to hinder us
my helpless babe and me dread spirits
of the blackwater clan owen's wild banshee
and Holy Mary pitying us in Heaven
for grace doth sue sing hush-a-by
loo,la-lo,la lan sing hush-a-by loo la lo
Take time to thrive my ray of hope
in the garden of Dromore
Take heed young eaglet
till thy wings are feathered fit to soar
a little rest and then the world
is full of work to do
sing hush-a-by loo,
la-lo,la lan sing hush-a-by loo la lo

Dans la vitrine, carcasse éclatée,
crinière grise et robe déchirée
Petit cheval de papier, de chiffon
Dors sous la cendre de mille saisons
Parfums de fêtes, souvenirs secrets
Brumes légères au-dessus des marais
Cheval de bois ,de chiffon, de regrets
Teint porelaine de filles de Mai
Tu te souviens ces matins de printemps
Les mariés te couvraient de rubans
Cheval d'amour, de folie, d'évasion
Danses païennes, tambours et chansons
Dans la vitrine, peinture écallée,
robe sanguine et tiganasse arrachée
Petit cheval de carton, de chagrin
Pour toi je crois à un autre matin
Eveille toi de la nuit du passé
Relève toi des siècles embrumés
Cheval d'argent, destriller triomphant
Renaîs au siècle nouveau qui t'attend
Cheval ardant, destriller flamboyant
Renais au siècle qui vient maintenant
Cheval d'argent destriller triomphant
Renais au siècle nouveau qui t'attend
Cheval ardant, destriller flamboyant
Renaîs au siècle qui vient maintenant
Dream Angus is a sort of Scottish Sandman who helps children off to sleep
Can you not hush your weeping?
All the birds are sleeping
Birdies are nesting, nestling together
Dream Angus is hurtling o're the heather.
Dreams to sell, fine dreams to sell!
Angus is here with dreams to sell.
Hush, my dear baby, and sleep without fear
Dream Angus has brought you a dream, my dear.
List' to the curlew crying, oh
Faintly the echoes dying, oh
Even the birdies and beasties are sleeping,
But my bonnie bairn lies weeping, weeping.
Dreams to sell, fine dreams to sell
Angus is here with dreams to sell
Hush my dear baby and sleep without fear
Dream Angus has brought you a dream, my dear
Soon the lavrock sings his song
Welcoming the coming dawn
Lambies hurry down together
With the ewes all in the heather
Dreams to sell, fine dreams to sell
Angus is here with dreams to selll
Hush my dear baby, sleep without fear
Dream Angus has brought you a dream, my dear
Dreams to sell, fine dreams to sell
Angus is here with dreams to sell
Hush my dear baby and sleep without fear
Dream Angus has brought you a dream, my dear
