World Lullabies

Soir means Evening.

To me 'evening' is one of the most beautiful words in the English language-- just the sound of it makes me think of a time to relax and unwind from a long day.
 
However,our newest creation, my son Aydin, has made evening a bit of an adventure... to say the least. :)
 
To appease this little tike and get some peace in the process, my husband and I did some searching for lullabies, in his native language: Turkish, and in mine: Arabic. We came across something lovely that kept us searching different nationalities and seeing these connections of cultures all expressing a little about their heritage or ways of life thru a simple song...
 
Here are a few examples and I hope that they may help any parents out there to get their little ones to sleep..
 
 
African Lullaby
 
Turkish Lullaby
 
 
Armenian Lullaby
 
Arabic Lullaby
 
And if anyone has any others to share please do!! :)))
