Lullaby from

Hungary

Singer:Emi Farago

Csija buja

Csíja búja, búja, gyönyörű magzatom,aludj el, aludj el, gyönyörű csillagom.

Ótson el az angyal, kőtsön fel a hajnal,aludj el, aludj el, gyönyörű virágom.

Sleep, my beautiful child,sleep, my lovely star.

May the angel rock you to sleep,and the red dawn awaken you.

Why lullabies?

Singing – a part

of human culture

Singing lullabies – an important

human tradition

In some countries – less and less parents sing with their children –

a ritual lost?

I have just received this book and it is BEAUTIFUL.  What a labour of love!

I wanted to thank you and say how impressed I am with this wonderful work ! The choice of the songs is very nice, the photos are absolutely beautiful and the CD very well-made and helpful

This is a great tool for my work as music therapist! Have you thought about the

use of the Website for kindergardens and nurseries?

Are there choral arrangements of these lullabies?
