Meryl Streep sang us to sleep when we were little. Hannah Zhalih and sister Suzanne Tufan sing The Gartan Mother's Lullaby the summer of 2007 in Ojai for the camera.

  • beautiful! if i could dowload this video i could. does anybody know how?  please don't remove this video ever!! suzanne, i am worried about your beautiful voice as smoking will eventually affect it. it would be a tragedy if you lose that beautiful soprano. you and your sister are awesome and i never tired of it! god bless !

  • Thank you for the concern. I actually don't smoke. And I am actually an alto... 2

    Thanks for watching

  • I wish you actually had the guts not to delete comments :). Oh well. Good luck!

  • idoandidon't

  • good job, bu this song is not by meryl streep- its an irsh traditional

  • yes, I know. My sister and I first heard this song because Meryl Streep sang it on an album for kids when we were little. i am a lover of Ireland so I was thrilled to find it is an Irish folksong.

  • That's absolutely beautiful girls with no music and recorded on a camera phone (I think). It's a traditional Irish song but I've never heard it sang as good here in Ireland. Nice one :-)

  • Lovely. Keep singing ladies.

  • your really good i love it

  • ive listened to folk music for over 30yrs and this is abs. brilliant

    i love the harmonies

    i like the meryl streep version too but you should listen to robin williamson singing this on

    songs for children of all ages

    dont remove this girls this is a gem

  • Very nice rendition. One pointer for you: On the 2nd last line of each verse you sang (I think) "and o'er it all" whereas it should be "A leanbhan O" or "A leanbhan Óg", which means "A little child" or a "young little (female) baby" depending on your interpretation. Leanbhan is pronounced as Lan-van and is "As Gailge" - an Irish or Gaelic word.

  • Sooo pretty :) You both have lovely voices, and suzanne, your alto line is just beautiful!!

  • Just AWESOME!

  • Wow. Amazing! (:

  • I keep returning to this song. It is sung so beautifully. Please please dont ever take it away - I would hate for it to be gone.

  • B-E-A-U-TIFUL except for the little screw up at the end, but it was a good sound to hear ^-^
