Meryl Streep singing "Gartan Mother's Lullaby"

[MerylStreepLouise]

Very nice song :)

[immortalstory1]

Completely butchered the song.

[XxRazbareyLollypopxX]

My mom used to sing this to me until I was 7. I'm going to sing it to my children someday, too. This song always brings back memories of when my mom was just holding me and singing it to me and then tucked me in to go to bed.

[MiamiS1lvio]

A dear friend who's son perished in the North Tower on 9/11 had this song played at his funeral. My heart still aches for them, and all who were lost on 9/11. Rest in peace, Matt...you are dearly missed.

[ventilator98]

@MiamiS1lvio WOWWWWW. I know. Everytime I think of the people who lost their lives in 9/11 it just makes me so sad. I mean, that was a horrible day. :( :(

[LinneyBug11]

I listened to FOR OUR CHILDREN when I was little I loved how they took kiddie songs like little spider and sung it by a like today singer and anyway so I found the cd one day when I was much older and I played it and I couldn't help loving this com sweet simphony song and I wish I got the chance to sing it in a chorus. :)

[robcas631]

Beautiful voice. I wish oneday should could make a cd.

[katynkitkat2]

below i posted the exact lyrics minus a few words at the end. there are different versions though with just a few word changed. :D

Great job. Soooo Soothin. Great twilight song.

[katynkitkat2]

@lloydscashcorpguide omduckies!!! my group did this song when i was in 8th grade

[530awesome]

I am very sorry that when I have children they do not understand the lyrics, because it is not Lithuanian. Very nice song, sounds very nice... <3

[Peggy91193]

Mmm...lovely!

[Puffynoodle]

I sung this in choir! i luved it!

[Cinnamombunz]

This has been one of my favorite songs since I bought 'For Our Children' for MY children. There are some lovely versions of this song, but I love this one best, I think, for it's simplicity and warmth. There is such a genuine feeling about it; listening to it is like being rocked by a loving mother. It has taken up permanent residence in my heart.

[ztsmith87]

Never would have come across this beautifully sad song if I hadn't heard it being sung in Lonesome Dove

[MspedzRN]

You can hear her smiling as she sings of her joy and love for her child....beautiful...not many singers can elicit this kind of a responce...

[Rebaneller1955]

Meryl Streep is amazing i would love to meet her and she is just so wonderful

[stephcon12]

Its good but i like the celtic version better. But this makes me cry........I miss my dead sister suddenly. Thanks for making it!

[EnyaBrennan94]

Absolutely beautiful!!! I love you Meryl!!!

[7Mystery5]

I love it, one thing i did not like... "Worrrrrrrrrrld"

it should be wuuuuurld

[MullallyFan1023]

I get where you're coming from, but if you listen, most of the voiced consonants are exaggerated - it's to make the Irish just a touch more authentic.

[InnocentInjury]

Makes me feell, like crying ......simply amazing <3

she is truly godgifted.......

[giuliettaL]

wow she's amazing...i love her voice

omg absolutely beautiful!

kiss Giulia...italy

[goodguywpb]

WoW!! I am totally in love with Meyl's voice. Who ever knew???

[beamgym7823]

holy crap............

[paulinegail20]

[tomoole]

Not a bad effort at singing this ancient Irish song - the few Gaelic words she attemps are a little bit iffy, but she gives it a good shot - maith an cailin !

[UStreep]

Looooooove her, listening to this song every night:)<3<3<3

[merylsnumberonefan]

Beautiful song, amazing Meryl. love her

[LOVEKITTENxx]

i wish i could hire her for my birthday party to sing there lol

most people there would think im a freak but then again .. its my birthday party and if i want the AMAZING BEAUTIFUL Meryl Streep singing there then so be it lol :) xx Luu' x

[MarijaFan]

This woman to me is a true mystery. Whenever I think she cannot surprise me anymore, I discover some new aspect to her that leaves me gasping for air as she renderes me speechless. Who knew that the woman whom the world knows as one of the greatest actresses of all time can also sing like an angel. Like Meryl herself, her voice is truly one of a kind. Absolutely beautiful...

[Kitjister]

<3333333

[ansoka3]

[gracebrown01]

I seriously cannnot stop listening to this.....she is AMAZING and truly one of a kind.

[Mike6E]

Her voice, like her appearance, personality and talent, are absolutely breath-taking. I truly wish she'd put out an album, I'd snatch it up in a second!

[gracebrown01]

Wow - I have goosebumps. Just when I though I couldn't possibly love Meryl anymore. Her voice and this song is beautiful.

[Dorritlovesmeryl]

does anybody have the lyrics of this song?

I can't find it on the internet...

[hypnoticeclipse]

Sleep, my child, for the red bee hums The silent twilights fall. Eeval from the Grey Rock comes To wrap the world in thrall. A lyan van o, my child, my joy My love and heart's desire. The crickets sing you lullaby Beside the dyin' fire. Dusk has come and the Green Mans' horn Is wreathed in rings of fog; Sheevra sails his boat till morn Upon the starry bog. A lyan van o, the paley moon Has gleamed her cusp in dew, And weeps to hear the sad sleep tune. I sing, my love, to you.

[hypnoticeclipse]

A lyan van o, my child, my joy,

My love and heart's desire.

The crickets sing you lullaby

Beside the dying fire

[Dorritlovesmeryl]
