It is a particularly haunting piece of music, and we believe, in its beautiful melodies and poetic lyrics, a springboard for hope, and ultimately a smile.
This lovely song and the lyrics bright back those memories you mentioned, of my babies in the wee hours nursing as I rocked and sang my lullabies. Two of my babies are gone now, the oldest, a daughter, suddenly with a cerebral hemorrhage, and the youngest, a son, stillborn, though of course I count him as one of my babies. I am blessed with another son and daughter who are healthy and who bring me joy, as well as two wonderful granddaughters. Life is still good.
Thanks for sharing that lullaby! It brought back a precious memory.
When my wife and I were pregnant with our son (it takes two to tango), we each made a recording of us singing a lullaby on a looped cassette tape. Starting in the third trimester, we played each of our lullabies for 15 minutes twice a day, just so he would get to know our voices.
When Dave was born, I sang that lullaby to him in the delivery room. His eyes focused on me and he recognized my voice and the song. Throughout his infancy and childhood, whenever he was fussy or having a tantrum when I was around, I would sing him that song and he would immediately calm down. He is now 30 years old and I still sing it for him occasionally, just to embarrass him a little bit. We love each other very much.
Smiles accompanied by tears.
Lovely with and without the translation
Beautiful!
Ac yn gymraeg! Arddehog! (and in Welsh - beautiful!)

I sang this lullaby to my babies… now in their 40’s with their own children between ages 3 and 19. Thank you for the sweet, sweet, sweet memories.
Thank you for sharing. I probably never would have heard this otherwise! Reading the lyrics as I listened made it more interesting and enjoyable!
Simply beautiful! My hurting heart was soothed for a moment.

Here is the song:
Baby mine, the world is here
For leaning to love, learning to love.
Every thing we do and say
Will teach you to love in every way.
Ride the rainbow to the sky
And see what you'll find,
There in your mind.
Life is yours and here today
For learning to love, learning to love.
How lovely. My nerves stopped jangling. Thank you!
Beautiful.
Beautifully calming; my anxious thoughts and heart rate definitely benefited from this :). Pleasant weekend, everyone.
Healing!
Thank you, Steady Team, for the moment of purity and joyful peace.
A simply beautiful song - a cultural treasure shared by the Welsh with the rest of the world.
This is wonderful! Enjoyed it
