  • La mañana amaneció desplegando sus alas

    mientras la luna colgaba todavía en el cielo

    Sostuve el mar en tus manos

    y la felicidad, para siempre, brilló en tus ojos.

    No podría dejarte para ir al cielo

    Te llevo presente en mi sonrisa

    Por primera vez he visto mi reflejo

    en la felicidad que siempre brillará en tus ojos.

  • <3 I'll sing this lullaby to my son or daughter..

    Heath.. just makes me cry.

  • @f22spc he asked ben to write a song for his daughter. just b/c he didnt release it until 2006 doesnt mean it wasnt written before.

  • It was a song/lullaby that Heath asked Ben to write for Matilda when he found out he was going to be a father.

  • My new favorite video....he can do no wrong

  • 2 weeks later...still my favorite

  • Reminds me of an Alley Cat Stevens.

  • Very very very beautiful!!!!

    I love it!!!!!

  • My question is why hasn't this video had more views?? This song is simply beautiful! Nearly brought me to tears... :')

  • wrote this upon request from his friend Heath Ledger. Heath called him and said, "Ben I am having a baby. You need to write a lullaby."

  • reminds me of Cat Stevens here

  • So THAT's why I like Ben Harper so much! 'Cause I'm a huge Cat Stevens fan! Now it all makes sense... Well it's that and Ben's an absolute genius.

  • I love this song<3

    It reminds me of Heath :D

  • The first time I heard this song it touched my heart. RIP Heath Ledger

  • I love this song

    Can't reject the power of that emotion

  • hermosa =)

  • Remember Heath, forever. What a great loving father... What a great actor... And this song, just makes me cry...

  • No disrespect to Heath Ledger but how do you know he's was a great father ...or a good man. He was a public figure .. thats all. America's cultish following of its celebrities will always boggle me....

  • I'm not american... And I hate the star system and all that shit. But I guess he was, not only when I see pictures, cause we all know how pictures are fake, but also because of this particular song, I never said he was a good man or a great father, just a loving one... ;)

  • If a man goes to a guy and asks him to make a song for his daughter it shows that he is a good father. I also met Jake Gyllenhaal and he said that Heath was an amaing father

  • yay Matilda's song :D May Heath R.I.P

  • Straight to the core of sorrow and love. From one legend to another.

  • Words for what ? You are amazing.

  • amazing.

  • is it just me, or does Ben sound a little like Cat Stevens?? Anyway, what a lovely,forever tribute to a beautiful spirit, both Heath and Matilda. I wish all fathers loved their daughters like Heath loved Matilda,

  • Yea he totally does!! I thought it was cat stevens when i first heard this song. They are both amazing!

  • My god, this is an amazing artist, he touches me deeply. You go Ben!

  • This song is so amazingly beautiful. There are no words that can explain what this does to me because I just lost someone really special in my life too. It's just so sweet and revokes darling memories.

  • Wow! This song and I have been threw a lot together. I went about four months listening to this song everyday. I had just lost a loved one, and it was and still is a memorial song. Ben Harper is a pure genius.

  • I had no Idea this song was written for the Ledgers.....wow an amazing song.

  • It was written for them??

  • yes. Heath called up Ben,and said " hey Ben! I am having a baby girl, can u write me a special song for me and her?" Ben gladly obliged. This is the song.

  • I can't even express what I am feeling now. Such sorrow and sadness...and such a beautiful song. I think I know Matilda will grow up knowing how much her father loved her. WE all miss dear Heath Ledger...we always will.

  • What an amazing tribute to his daughter. This is something she will have forever, and this may give her some solice when the road gets curved. Although Heath is not here for her physically, he is watching over her.

    Now you have wings angel....so fly

  • @jnaz9795 Your comment was so beautiful it made me cry, Heath Ledger will never be forgotten, ever.

  • So special for Matilda & a beautiful gift from Ben to Heath . . . Thanks for sharing.

  • Marvellous. I wish all the fathers all over the world loved her daughters like Heath loved Matilde.

    Rest in peace angel!!! I will never forget You. Because You was the angel who touched my heart.

  • They played this song at Heaths funeral....Rest in Peace mate, you'll be sadly missed...Great song too, Ben Harpers a legend!!!

  • this is such an adorable song. HOPE MATILDA GROWS UP TO KNOW THAT HER FATHER LOVED HER VERY MUCH..bless her & bless the ledger family.

  • This song is so adorably sweet!

  • With all of the negative speculation surrounding her father's death, hopefully Matilda will this glimmer of hope with this song. RIP dear Heath...we all have troubles in life and deal with them in so many ways, wish someone could have reached you in time...

  • Ben Harper said Heath called him and asked him to write a lullaby for his daughter, Matilda. Harper said the song came together easily...

    the line "couldn't leave you to go to heaven..." makes it all the more poignant.

  • I was just reading an older interview with B.H. and he mentioned this song was requested by Heath Ledger as a lullaby for his daughter. I knew they were friends that started a label together. That makes me sad I guess, but glad she can have this as a piece of her dad's love. Thank You Ben.

  • This is a great song! Such imagery!

  • j'adore cette musique elle est super belle & le chanteur aussi =D

    j'en peux plus de Ben harper <3 même en LIve il assure ;p
