my grandmothers lullaby

[triLcat]

My grandmother, who I never met, used to sing this to my father. My father sang it to me, but he'd lost some of the melody.

Thank you for sharing.

She has a wonderful voice. I would be lulled to sleep if i heard that when I was a child.

If I may ask, where was your grandmother born?

[nevets68]

My Grandmother and my Mother used to sing this to me when I was a little kid.

See Mom, you DID instill Yiddishkeit in me. :D

Whats the song called?

[broadwaymafia]

ive found tons of slightly different versions, the closest to this was titled just 'ay, lu lu lu.' if you find more about this lullaby let me know!

Shlof, mayn kind, mayn treyst, mayn sheyner,

Shlofzhe, zunenyu.,

Shlof mayn leben, mayn kaddish ayner,

Lulinke lu-lu

Shlof mayn leben, mayn kaddish ayner,

Lulinke lu-lu

your grandmother is jewish, isn't she?

[broadwaymafia]

yes

[Hamishtarah]

strange if she had sung "the Ballad from Mac the Knife" (From Kurt Weil's 3 penny opera) it would had sound really similar
