I can remember my grandfather holding me on his lap an singing the following: (some in phonetics)

Spin, spin, spin, min dotter min
E meran kommer free and fran
dotter spun och tor en run
aldrigt kommer (free and fran?)

Does anyone remember the correct wording? My daughter, whom I sang this to when she was little, now has a little one and wants to sing it correctly. Can you help?

Does Anyone Know a Swedish Lullaby That Sounds Like “Tsat tun lit and forglit and paratntray”?

My grandmother is dying of cancer. When I was little she used to sing a Swedish lullaby to me about a little bird and sweet milk. It goes something like this:

Tsat tun lit and forglit and paratntray…
quilint and vockor lisit…

….spornot mot, ….reset…sit and milk made sovary
silk and sank till savory…

daiska lilla …mot
por into por rese

My mom has asked me to track this down so we can sing it to her. She may not have long to live…days.

Please help me if you can. Does anyone know what this song is?

Much love!
Lesley

Can Anyone Help with a Swedish Lullaby?

Monday, March 9th, 2009

Kristin wrote to me looking for help with a song:

Hi Lisa,

I was surfing and stumbled upon your site and I’m hoping you can help me. My Mother learned a song from her Grandmother. In fact, she remembers the song being sung to her every night as a child. My Great-Grandmother spoke little English and my Mother did not speak Swedish, so she never really got a translation. I’m also certain that my Mom is not really singing the words correctly either. I would love more than anything to find the words and translation for her because my Mother is now trying to teach the song to my children.

I’m going to type it out the first two lines as I hear it – I don’t know any Swedish at all…

Ocher (Aucher?) Lit Lit
Er bord sen tieden

Another option is that I record the tune as I know it and send it.

I know this is a total long shot. Thanks for taking a look.

My Best,

Kristin

If anyone can help Kristin with the lyrics to this song and/or an English translation, please let us know in the comments below.

Kristin, if you’d like to email me the tune, that might help! Thanks!
