4 Lullabies To Sing To Your Baby
In a recent blog post we explored why singing your baby to sleep is such a positive thing to do
So, now that you’re inspired to soothe your baby with song, here are 4 of our favourite lullabies for you to learn and share with your child.
Baa Baa Black Sheep
This is a traditional English lullaby with a simple, memorable tune. We love that it can also introduce the ‘sheep counting game’ to your children when they’re a little bit older, so it can help them get to sleep for years to come. It was originally printed in 1744, in Tommy Thumb’s Song Book.
Lyrics:
Baa, Baa, Black Sheep, have you any wool?
Yes, sir, Yes, sir, three bags full
One for my master and one for my dame
And one for the little (girl/boy) who lives down the lane.
Baa, Baa, Black Sheep, have you any wool?
Yes, sir, Yes, sir, three bags full
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
Another traditional lullaby, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star was first published as a poem by Ann and Jane Taylor in 1805.
Full Lyrics:
Twinkle twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky
When the blazing sun is gone
When he nothing shines upon
Then you show your little light
Twinkle, twinkle all the night
Then the traveler in the dark
Thanks you for your tiny spark
He could not see which way to go
If you did not twinkle so.
In the dark blue sky you keep
And often through my curtains peep
For you never shut your eye,
‘til the sun is in the sky.
As your bright and tiny spark
Lights the traveler in the dark
Though I know not what you are,
Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
An Irish Lullaby — Toora Loora Loora
Popularised by Bing Crosby, Toora Loora Loora is in fact a lullaby dating back to 1913, written by J.R. Shannon. Its wonderful chorus flows off the tongue and is relaxing and fun for your baby, who’ll soon be singing along.
Chorus lyrics:
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, Too-ra-loo-ra-li,
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, hush now, don’t you cry!
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, Too-ra-loo-ra-li,
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, that’s an Irish lullaby.
Brahm’s Lullaby
This beautiful lullaby was originally written in German, as a gift for a new baby. The first verse is inspired by a German poetry collection called Des Knaben Wunderhorn. Its language and rhythm speaks to times gone by, and as your little one grows, its history will inspire a curiosity for the past.
Lyrics:
Lullaby and good night, with roses bedight
With lilies o’er spread is baby’s wee bed
Lay thee down now and rest, may thy slumber be blessed
Lay thee down now and rest, may thy slumber be blessed
Lullaby and goodnight, thy mother’s delight
Bright angels beside my darling abide
They will guard thee at rest, thou shalt wake on my breast
They will guard thee at rest, thou shalt wake on my breast
