This is usually accepted to be a traditional Welsh folk song. Very little other information is available about its history, though we might assume from the lyrics of the English translation that it is a lullaby.

This is a beautiful Gujarati devotional song. Its melody is based on the Bhairavi Raag. It has a very strong pulse which could inspire movement and choreography.

A relaxed but upbeat Dixieland blues, this song is ideal for singing on a warm summer’s day!

Northumberland is a border county (next to Scotland) and very rural. Once, the wealth of the families in this region was measured by the number of cattle they had. This song is about Hawkie, pronounced ‘Hackie’ – a cow, or ‘coo’, as they say in Northumberland, who is stuck on the far side of a ‘burn’, or stream, and is too ‘sweir’ (shy) to cross the ‘wattor’ (water), to come and be milked.

This is a lively Mexican love song that also touches on the joy of singing!
