Lyrics:

GARTAN MOTHER'S LULLABY

lyrics by Seosamh MacCathmhaoil (Joseph Campbell)

Sleep O babe, for the red bee hums the silent twilight's fall,
Aoibheall from the grey rock comes, to wrap the world in thrall.
A leanbhan O, my child, my joy, my love my heart's desire,
The crickets sing you lullaby, beside the dying fire.

Dusk is drawn and the Green Man's thorn is wreathed in rings of fog,
Siabhra sails his boat till morn, upon the Starry Bog.
A leanbhan O, the paly moon hath brimmed her cusp in dew,
And weeps to hear the sad sleep-tune, I sing O love to you.

Faintly sweet doth the chapel bell, ring o'er the valley dim,
Tearmann's peasant voices swell, in fragrant evening hymn.
A leanbhan O, the low bell rings, my little lamb to rest,
And angel- dreams till morning sings, its music in your breast.

Just relaxing

[BlindStrings]

@cherrialbum More soothing than Morrison Road ;)

[TheBlooferGirls]

You have a really beautiful voice xx

[BlindStrings]

@TheBlooferGirls Thanks Girls!

[Misssingingbugs]

Did you create the Guitar and Violin accompaniment or did you find it somewhere? It is beautiful. The singing is great as well. I'm a music ed major and I'm going to do this for a recital and would love to be accompanied by a guitarist instead of my pianist. Thanks!

[BlindStrings]

@Misssingingbugs Thank you! I was inspired by an instrumental version I found on a CD. I can send you it by mail if you wish.

I get terrible nightmares, and your rendition of this lullaby is the first thing I've found that's guaranteed to put me into a dreamless sleep.

Thank you so much for posting this!

[LadyHarrington2k]

When I read 'for my niece' it set me off!! Aww, you sweetheart! :') x

I have a beautiful niece too, i'll be sure to send this to her!

Amazing. Some very fine musicians have done this song and I think this version may still be my favourite, even above the Luke Kelly. You should be a star.

[cherrialbum]
