Lullaby
 

These are sung to send a child to sleep or to stop it crying, employ a very simple style of language, and have a tune that follows the syllabic arrangement of the lines. The singer is not identified in these verses, which consist of quatrains and a chorus.

Examples of lullabies:

Huu huu
The dervishes
Set out on the road to God.

On the road to God is a spring
That never stops or runs dry.

The dervishes who drunk from it
Had their wish.

Let him grow in his sleep, lullaby
A lullaby for my tiny child.

They took a bride
And wrapped her in furs.
While kissing and cuddling
Under a fallen tree.

Lullaby, my baby, lullaby
For my tiny child.

Hu hu hu, a bird,
An owl on the hill of the valley.

Its nest out in the wilds,
Its father brings its food.

May you grow, my child.
Grow and walk.

A lullaby for my little child,
For my little tiny child.

Hu hu hu, the bird,
I did not climb the hill

Where there is a nightingale’s nest
And his wife prepares the food.

May you grow, my child.
Grow and walk.

A lullaby for my little child,
For my little tiny child.
