Thread Name: Lyr Req: Suo Gan - English version(s)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Suo Gan - English version(s)
Here is the other thread with at least one English version. The original is a lullaby, which is what I'm looking for. I write historical fiction, and I'm trying to avoid anachronisms. :) I'm looking for a lullaby that would be well-known in America by the 1870s - 1880s. I struck out on "Toora-Loora-Looral" and "All Through the Night," and then I remembered that "Suo Gan" was a lullaby also. I'd welcome any other suggestions anybody could offer!
