I found these lyrics: Go to sleep little one Let us rest on this straw mat Go to sleep while it is yet dark Soon the clouds will disappear And reveal a great light to light up the neighborhood Tomorrow your father will return home With money from the lemons he sold He will bring you clothes and a scarf To keep you warm in December My beautiful one, with the lovely handpicked black hair Whomever does not love you or kiss you Knows not what they are missing

Remember when you would fall asleep to your mother’s voice singing to you? But you had no idea what she was saying. All you knew was that you were safe and warm.

I know what my mom was saying. “Love me tender, love me true All my dreams fulfilled For my darlin', I love you And I always will” I didn’t know my lullabies were Elvis songs until my teenage years. ♥️♥️♥️ to moms around the world, no matter the language of their lullabies.

Although I am half Egyptian I haven't spoken a word of Arabic in years. I do remember this song being sung to me though. It's unique how songs imprint in our minds.

Wow!!! I hadn't come here long ago. I can't believe a simple transliteration made by ear and shared so I wouldn't lose it would get so many likes. I would like to clarify that I am not an arabic speaker, therefore it is not a faithful transliteration. It was made by me with an amateur ear the day my niece was born, since I just wanted to learn it and sing it for her. However, I hope this paragraph written by me after listening to the song in a loop 5 yrs ago helped some of you to learn this beautiful lullaby. I have beautiful memories of listening to it on a bright December evening, the smell of my niece's dark hair still on my nose, as I left the hospital. She is 5 years now and I still sing this song for her when I comb her curls.

I am American and I only know English but I feel like I have heard this before. I just don't remember where or when.

Jonathan Roumie's father is Syrian,born in Egypt.

I am not Arab, but Spanish. Good heavens this song is beautiful beyond words, even if I don’t understand a word, I sounds like something that would calm a crying child, or that would bring tears to your eyes from the memories. Arab countries have such beautiful, rich cultural bagaje.

Be blessed Egyptian brothers and sisters ❤ from Greece 🇬🇷

We have the same Lullaby in Greece but it's called 'Nani Nani'

My toddler could totally fall asleep to this! He has been sleeping through some heavy metal tunes, this is beautiful!!! ♡

This song my husband sings for me many time to comfort me before sleep .. this how he treat me in sweet Arab ways when we both stay a distance from each other

I've had a Palestinian best friend since we were 5 years old, and her family must've played this for us when I was younger because listening to this unlocked a memory and I was singing along!

Ta voix, ton visage et ton regard sont l'éloge de ton chant ! Merci. C'est une amélioration de l'âme. Je ne m'en lasse pas. Magnifique. Les musiciens sont admirables. Quel talent messieurs !

The western world is so blind to how diverse, beautiful voices sound in different countries! Her voice is so raw and real! So beautiful and so timeless! I can imagine her as a priestess or princess, whose defining feature is her voice! Divinely favored by the gods, and given this extraordinary ability. To channel the gods and ancestors through her enchanting and bewitching voice.

Excuse me madame ignorance. The Western World has its own form of diversity and beauty in songs. Even though Christianity tried to erase it, many European countries tried to hold on to their ancient songs. Have you ever heard a song sung in Gaelic? A song from the Breton people? Not Britain but the people of Brittany in Northwest France? Have you ever heard a song in Faorse? A Viking folk song? Songs sung in the languages of the Slavic people or the Mediterranean like Greece? Or songs of Ancient Rome? Prior to the Nazis completely screwing the Germans over they were rich with traditional folk songs. Even in the US and Canada have their own folk songs sung in minority languages. Not to mention the traditional songs sung in the Indigenous American languages assuming they count as part of the Western World.

​​@@Nala_Uko If we are honest, in the “Western world” we no longer notice the world around us. My family is scattered all over the world and it shocks me when I visit family members in the USA, Germany, England, the Netherlands, Poland or France and see how people in these countries are increasingly stuck in their bubble of complacency and ignorance and can no longer reflect. Of course there are exceptions everywhere, but overall that's exactly how I (and many others) feel..

1:29 when the beat drops.

It’s amazing how every country has a unique musical sound to their songs

1:46 that's when the beautifull singing starts.

In hebrew we have a lullaby name "Numi Numi" and it have the same meaning - Sleep Sleep (My little Girl)

I don't understand but the Egyptian culture is so BEAUTIFUL!

So beautiful... Im from ARMINIAN and I like it... Դուք օգտագործում եք մի երաժշտական գործիք, որը մեր ազգային երգ ու պարի մեջ մեծ տեղ ունի` դա քանոնն է։ Շա՜տ գեղեցիկ է հնչում։

I love how simple and easily she can project her voice with such pure beauty this whole lullaby is amazing thank you for sharing your angelic voice and your great musical talents......Thank you.

Love and respect from Ireland and the USA. This is wonderful music. Be proud of your culture. It is amazing & magical.

I remember my grandmother singing it to me; the wonderful old days.

Thank you for sharing this beautiful lullaby. I love Egypt and was looking for something to quiet my mind for sleep. This was perfect….absolutely lovely … goodnight everyone ❤️😴😴🌠🌃🌌🌟✨🔥💫💕

I was looking for this song for literally years! My Lebanese father would always sing it to me as a lullaby and I wanted to listen to it again, since we’re not in contact anymore but I just miss those memories and feelings so much. I can’t describe how happy I am to have finally found it after about 5-6 years of searching and searching.

Wouldn't it be great if everyone learned to sing beautifully in school? Being able to sing is something all people would enjoy, I'm sure.

Now I know all the instruments that those familiar sounds come from. Awesome music.

When the beat changes at 1:25 😍 love this 💕

I immediately thought I recognized this song but I wasn’t sure it was the one I was thinking of until she started singing. I heard this song being performed in a rebeteca concert at the theatre on the Acropolis. Awesome song!

Beautiful..... Simply beautiful!

I like the columns of the room too. This is true authentic Egypt. 🇪🇬 🇬🇷
