floyd jane: Yes, it is rather scary for a lullaby, right? I simply must ask my Dad why he was singing it to me at bedtime ... :-)

Ed: your comments made me smile! Thanks for the kind words about the improvement of my voice (I still think I sing like the drain, haha - but, if so many of you like it, then I've probably done *something* right, haha ...). I've definitely got Romanian blood in me, though I've lived (for most of my life, at least) in the UK, so I feel more British than anything else, really ... but yes, I love Romanian works of art such as this poem and song ... glad you enjoyed them!

Deryk: thank you. Your words, especially about my voice, really mean a lot.

Marty: yes (despite my somewhat jocular comments about my Dad singing it to me when I was young, etc.), I do love this song and this stunning poem. So happy you enjoyed my version of it - thank you!
