I listened to the Judy Collins' one. I love her voice, and the Chinese one. It was a bit sad. I think there is something about little children that makes us teary eyed- knowing they have to grow up and not stay babies forever. Innocence must be lost, it's a little sad, that they have to grow up.

On the road stands a tree,it stands bent and deserted,All the birds of that treehave flown away.Turn toward the west, turn toward the east, And the rest - turn toward the south, And the tree is left aloneabandoned to the storm.I say to momma--"Listen, If you don't stand in my way, then, one and two, I'll quickly become a bird...I'll sit in the tree And lull it during the winter and comfort it With a lovely tune.And momma says, "No, child," And weeps bitter tears -G-d forbid, in the treeyou might freeze.So I say, "Momma, it's a wasteof your lovely eyes, Because before you know it, I'll be a bird." And momma cries: - Itzik, my Crown, As G-d would want, take a scarf with you, Lest you catch cold. "Put on your galoshes, It will be a severe winter. And take your fur hat, too. Woe is me! "And take your warm underwear, put it on, foolish child, Lest you become a guestamong the dead...I lift my wing, but it's hard... Too much, too many things Has momma put onher weak little fledgling. I look sadly straight forwardinto my momma's eyes,Her love did not allow meto become a bird...On the road stands a tree,it stands bent and deserted,All the birds of that treehave flown away.

A sweet song: sounds like a lullaby.
[video=youtube;bLNxHW4ZgXE]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLNxHW4ZgXE[/video]
with English transltion:
[h=2]A sweet song[/h]A sweet song
That my mother used to sing to me
While sucking my thumb
I listened while slumbering


This sweet song
I want to sing it for you
Because your skin is soft
Like the moss of the woods


The little doe is frightened
In the woods, the wolf is hiding
Ah-woo-oo-oo-oo


But the brave knight passed by
He took the doe in his arms
La la la la


The little doe
It will be you if you want
We won't worry about the wolf
There's two of us against him


A sweet song
That my mother used to sing to me
A gentle song
For all the little babies


Oh, the lovely story, now
The wolf changed into a woman
La la la la


And in the arms of the handsome knight
[A] beautiful princess remained
Forever and ever


The beautiful princess
Had your lovely hair
The same caress
Is visible in the depths of your eyes



This sweet song
I want to sing it too
For you, oh my sweet
Until the end of my life
Until the end of my life...

This is the lullaby my mother sang to me when I was a baby and a little girl. I still remember her singing it to me. She had a different song for each of us.

[video=youtube;OGxSkpqUhYw]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGxSkpqUhYw[/video]

In the place of the word "love", she'd say my name. It's actually a sad song, lol. I don't know how she hit on it to be my lullaby.

I understand there are two kinds of lullabies: the sad and slower, and the happy ones. But almost any song could be lullaby, like Abc...
