I too was incredibly sad at the invasion of Afganistan-it made me cry-I had lived through the bombing of Serbia in 99-bombs do not heal-they create hatred. This song is for all the voiceless victims - Nana you heal with your angel voice-God bless you.

[BlakesLiberator]

This was played to us about 30 years ago as a school comprehension excercise. That's how you get kids to hate songs - make them do school work about it!

But, I'm older and (a bit) wiser now, and can look at songs like this with with whole new appreciation.

Struth this is sad! But superb sound quality. I'm sharing it. Thanx for posting.

[osshauwa]

I have missed this song for 30years since my tape was broken.It never fail to make me cry everytime I heard it .Now I am a mother.The song make me deeply miss my mother .

[faltskog36abba]

beatiful and very sad too,thank you nana,

[nicegbu]

Nana is simply a legend. Her songs transcend time and age. I frist heard this song- Mama- through a local radio station's 'mid night serenade' Later I herad more of her songs through a French friend -Georges Rondeau. Since then I had bought all her songs I could come across. Each time I listen to Mama, I feel like crying. God bless you Nana.

[Dolly1366]

Is this the same folk tune that inmates heard the Greek Jewish women sing before their own terrible demise at Auschwitz? I'm sure I read that they sang 'Mama'-this makes this lovely sad,but hopeful song more poignant...

[PasomiM]

Thanks for this - just brings tears to the eyes.

[Vagalume1949]

Esta voz e tambem as letras das cançóes de Nana, sao quase inigualaveis; tornando-a uma cantora de reconhecimento internacional.

Aplausos para Nana Mouskuri.

[MrWrongnumber]

I learnt and loved nana mouskouris songs through a kenya broadcasting cooperation programme called sundowner.This song(mama) realy touches me and makes me fall in love with nana.

[SherryCrossley]

This made me cry. I miss my son who is away. And my Mother.  I can't tell you all it made me feel. I never heard this song before. Thank you very much.

[celtdownunder]

@SherryCrossley I am with u totally, I grew up with Nana at my grandmothers home and even as a little boy this made me cry, now my mother is sadly slipping fast away from us and, well I need not go any further,, it is a beautiful song and Nana has a way unlike any other for demonstrating emotion through her voice.

[thepiara]

I knew this song through one of my brothers. the song woke me up everymorning . cos he played it when the day still dark. how I miss the years so much.

[tane53jo]

Belissima canção na voz da grande Nana...

[raymond13008]

MERCI pour cette belle chanson de NANA une voix magnifique et reposante , quelques chanteuses sont vraiment agréables a entendre, dommage qu'il n'y est plus de bonnes chanteuses comme c'est grand de la variété d'avant , les générations disparaissent peu a peu , c'est vraiment regrettable , a bientôt RAY

[loveclose]

Been searching for this song for AGES!! Not found on any music site - so glad to have heard this again, well done and thank you for posting

[amitava55]

Hey, you already know my comments--Nana and the blessed lyric make an explosive combination that has only one end--our long-forgotten memory of divinity in man that the yogis call Soul. They yogis state that words of kindness and compassion lead man back to God. I would suggest insane people to sing along in tune with Nana. Doing so, you will feel like becoming human beings. Do not stop as a human being but go along and you will reach the tears--it is the point of contact between man and maker!

[mdaeleman123]

The first time i heard this song was two days after the invasion of Afghanistan, i had just bought a compilation cd of Nana. At that moment in time this song was heartbreaking. I used to cry for hours.

[benoni45]

J'aime cette femme plus belle avec une passion!!

[beadsstitcher]

SOOO BEAUTIFUL.

[angeloftherain]

the first time i heard this song i was 8 years old and i cried for an hour...and i still cry sometimes when i listen to it

[angiemar1975]

I used to listen to this song as a child and it still makes me cry!!! Wonderful... NANA, a true talent.... XOX

[alainsinger]

[tychaton08]

Not related to Nana Mouskouri, of course, but I feel the urge to express to derequwc my sincere sorrow for the catastrophic events that have hit his (her?) country.

[derequwc]

I sincerely appreciate your kind thoughts. It's not easy, 4 storms in succession all within a month. Thank you. Fred

[Nananut001]

...and yes, I forgot: The English title is "Lullaby of love", not "Melody of love"

[derequwc]

Yes, it's 'Lullaby of Love'. I stand corrected. Thank you.

[Nananut001]

Just to complete the list, it is also issued in French, under the title "Parle-moi"

[derequwc]

The tape containing that Nana Mouskouri song 'Melody of Love' (based on Brahms' lullabye) I vividly recall obtaining sometime in 1982, though I don't really know the album from which the song was lifted; the tape was more of a 'compilation' tape as many tapes were back then. Anyway, you have done enough for me already and I don't want to waste any more of your time looking for something that might no longer be obtainable. Thank you.

[rutebeuf2]

yes, as Nananut001 says, it's ;'Lullaby of Love', from the 1980 album 'Come With Me'. it's a modified version of Brahm's lullaby, modified by Larry Butler, the producer of the album.

[derequwc]

Yes, I remember also that song 'Come With Me' being part of that tape. I would love to obtain a copy of her recording of that song too, as well as her version of 'Smooth Sailing'. Unfortunately I can't them on CD and here on YouTube. Help!!!! Thank you.

[derequwc]

By the way, if it's not asking too much, I am also looking for Nana Mouskouri's version of Brahms' famous 'Lullaby" which she released under the title "Melody of Love". Its opening lines is "Hear the birds in the trees, hear the birds softly singing/and the song that I sing is our melody of love/Forever and ever I'll always be true/forever and ever I will always love you..." I had this on tape long ago but don't have it anymore. And just like 'Mama', I can't find it on CD or DVD. Thank you.

[ambiebear1]

nana mouskouri Guten Abend, Gut' Nacht

Is this the same ?

Found on youtube ...

[derequwc]

Thank you for being so generous with your time. Indeed, this is the same Brahms lullaby, same tune. But what I was looking for was the one she recorded with English lyrics which I could understand and sing along with. The one that you refer to is in African language, I think, which I don't speak nor understand. But a big THANK YOU anyway for your kind effort. Regards, Fred

[ambiebear1]

Just done a " Spotify " which has a large collection of Nana Gold ! however still no luck :( any idea ? year ? album ?

[ambiebear1]

Nana Mouskouri discography 192 CDs released ! so i'll keep trawling :)

[MyMagic111]

@derequwc I believe the Brahms one "Melody of Love" was on the album "Come with Me" that came out on the Philips label in 1980. That was when I bought it. "Mama" came out in either 1967 or 1968 on the Fontana labeled album, "Turn on the Sun."

[derequwc]

Yes, yes, yes! This is indeed the Nana Mouskouri song that I've been looking for all these years but couldn't find on CD or DVD..even right in the shops of Athens (the singer's hometown). But now, thanks to you, I finally got it. No words could express my appreciation for this wonderful gift. I wish I know your name but nevertheless I want to say 'THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU'. You made my day. All the best to you. Regards, Fred
