British Isles Lullabies
England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland, and the Channel Islands each rock their children in their own voice — with lyrics, translations, meanings and easy chords.
The British Isles are home to a rich patchwork of cradle-song traditions: England’s hedgerow robins and rose gardens, Scotland’s Gaelic Bà Bà Mo Leanabh, Wales’s sung-through canu gwerin, Northern Ireland’s “wee ones” beside the Giant’s Causeway, the Republic of Ireland’s Seoithín Seó, and the smaller island voices of the Isle of Man, Jersey and Guernsey. On this page you will find a lullaby from each, with the original words, English translations, their meaning, and easy guitar and piano chords.
