The Ilam Lullaby Songtext
von Bella Hardy

Hush a bye lu, my tiny darling
Hush baby sleep while the moon rules the sky
Your Daddy′s the finest, a Prince of all Mercia
The stars will guide him back to us by and by

Hush for your Mammy, so far from her homeland
Soft the trees sway to the North wind's sad song
Safe under Earendel, brightest of angels
Close those eyes quiet, and sleep the night long


Hush a bye lu, my tiny darling
Hush baby sleep while the moon rules the sky
Your Daddy′s the finest, a Prince of all Mercia
The stars will guide him back to us by and by

Silently sleep let no noise wake the mara
Hush now my dear one, the wolves prowl so near
Snug in nights blanket we'll join the forest slumber
Hush so the shadows of darkness won't hear

Hush a bye lu, my tiny darling
Hush baby sleep while the moon rules the sky
Your Daddy′s the finest, a Prince of all Mercia
The stars will guide him back to us by and by
