"Sweet Lullaby" by Deep Forest *1992*

Sweet Lullaby is the first song released by Deep Forest. Composed by Eric Mouquet and Michel Sanchez.

An early 90's song/video from my childhood that left a lasting impression on me... I had to dig deep to find this video...

The song is actually an ancient lullaby in the language of Baeggu from the Solomon Islands called "Rorogwela"


"Sasi sasi ae taro taro amu.Ko tratado tratado boroi tika oli oe lau. Tika gwao oe lau koro inomaena. Sasi sasi ae na ga koro mi koromada maena mada ni ada I dai I dai tabesau I tebetai nau mouri. Tabe tu wane initoa te he rofia. Sasi sasi ae kwa dao mata ole
Rowelae e lea kwa dao mata biru. Na rowelae e lea kwa dao mata luma. Rowelae e lea sasi sasi ae. Angi angi boro ti ka oli oe lau Iaia rofia ro aro aro. Nau No na wela wane ku adedite amu. Sasi sasi ae ko taro taro amu. Ga koro mi koro da maena fasi koro. Koro inomae na ka sasi sasi ae."

"Little brother, little brother stop crying, stop crying. Even though you cry, I'll still carry you. Who else will take care of you, we're now two orphans. Little brother, little brother our mom & dad have died & now live on the island of the dead
From the island of the dead they still watch over us like royalty, taking care of us with all the wisdom of such a place.
Little brother, little brother, even in the garden this lullaby continues in the different parts of the garden, and even in each house visited, this lullaby seems endless,
Lullaby, little brother, little brother, even if you cry and cry, who else will carry you. Oh, oh, my heavens, calm down, calm down now, I'm just a child, what can I do with you? Little brother, little brother, stop crying. Our mother and father have died; both of us are now orphans, little brother, little brother."

¡¡ENJOY!!
