This Irish folk song used to be a smash hit on the "Regionalcharts" in November 1993. The whole independent scene around Nuremberg, the broadcast area of Radio Downtown in Erlangen/Germany, immediately fell in love with the sweet voice of singer Edda Russ.

Words by County Donegal;
Seosamh MacCathmhaoil.

1.
||: Sleep o babe, for the red bee hums,
the silent twilight falls.
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 cricket sings you lullabye
beside the dying fire. :||

(2.
Dusk is drawn, and the Green Man's thorn
is wreathed in rings of fog;
Sheevra sails his boat till morn
Upon the starry bog.
A lyan van, o the paly moon
hath brimmed her cusp in dew,
and weeps to hear the sad sleep-tune
I sing, o love, to you.)
