Well, it has the stylistic devices of turkish lullabies, but I can't hear any turkish word like "uyu yawrum". Jews were tolerated in Ottoman Empire when whole christian Europe hated them. I hope the conflicts in middle east nowadays will end.^^ This is a pretty language..;)

In Spain, until 1492 (the Catholic Kings), there was a symbiosis between christians, muslims and jews. In the year 1492, lots of jews and muslims were expelled of the Spanish kingdom. The Ottoman empire (as many other empires) received those jews (who were traders) with arms wide open. But the jews continued to speak a kind of 15th century Spanish, which did not evolve with peninsular Spanish (because of isolation). That is why there are still some Judeo-Spanish speaking communities in Turkey...
