For our 19th Hobbity Yule Calendar surprise, we have a sweet lullaby by Yamy! It is a "Blue Lullaby", and Yamy has decorated her Yule tree with this song in mind. Here's the song, with an English translation and pictures of the Yule tree decorations.
~
This is loose translation of a blue lullaby that I learned when I was
very young. It is about the wish that ask on a prayer a innocent child. I
think that it goes well with the wishes theme for this year. It is curious
that a decorated my Xmas tree with that that in mind. I will attempt to be
true to the meaning.
Little White Dove Translation:
Little white dove
of the blue beak,
carry me on your wings
to
go see Jesus!
Yes my dear child
I will bring you there,
because
with your mommy
you are well behaved
She would not eat
neither
wheat nor rice
& lives only
for carrying & love.
Palomita Blanca Original (in Spanish)
Palomita Blanca
del piquito azul,
llevame en tus alas
a ver
a Jesús!
Si niñito bueno
yo te llevaré,
porque con
mamita
te has portado bien
Ella no comía
ni trigo ni
arroz,
y se mantenía
con celos de amor.
The song is very old, and it is hard to find it with these exact lyrics, but here is a new version of it with different ones. You can listen to the melody while reading the lyrics above.
This is how Yamy has decorated the Christmas tree! Many blue details... and it seems that there is also little dove there, like in the song!
