A lullaby recorded by Nuala Kennedy and Cathy Jordan in a musical performance titled HUSHEEN - Irish Songs For The Very Young, and Young at Heart! To be collated for an album. An Leanbh Aimhréidh (scroll down to play song) Chuaidh mé go tigh na banaltra Le tuitim ceo na h-oíche, ‘S ní raibh do chaoimhtheach leapa aici Ach a leanbh bán a' caoine. D’fhiafraigh mé don bhanaltra Goide ‘bheir ‘on leanbh siorghul; ‘Sé dúirt sí go mba faisean do Bheith a' crónán ins an oiche. Codladh leis an bogadh dó Sé ní mo leanbh aimhréidh Codladh leis an bogadh dó Sé ní mo leanbh aimhréidh The mother stood beside her gate, On the fields the dew was lying, No company had she so late But her little baby crying. I asked, “What ails the little one? Why is he always fretting?” She answered, “When the night draws on He cries for want of petting.” He's sleeping while I'm rocking him That is my fretful baby He's sleeping while I'm rocking him That is my fretful baby .
