   The lullaby is basically alike to the title talking of the moon showing up at night, sprinkling its moonlight everywhere, and then the next day coming with the sun.

   I can give you a word to word translation if you like, let me know.

   A few other lullaby’s in hindi/urdu (since hindi is almost the same) are:

   This is is specifically for girls:

   I could try and find more for girls, things seems a little partial here! Personally I think the best lullabies are the ones that you come up with urself, they have a lot more feeling. I do love the 1st one i’ve suggested for girls myself since it used to be sung to me! Good luck, congratulations for the baby and let me know if I can help in any way!

   Take care…

   Hi Lisa!
   in South Asian cultures, many times parents sing their children to sleep with songs with imagery of the Sun and Moon, so that’s what it is about literally speaking! But it has deeper meanings about optimism and peace, etc.

   Thanks Rammaza! A word for word translation would be great and if you’d like to send us any of the lyrics and translations to any of the lullabies in the videos, it would be wonderful. We appreciate your help! -Mama Lisa

   Hi! I am from Pakistan.I have recently come across of this beautiful website. I want to share some children songs which we used to sing in our childhood!!
   chum chum chum
   umbrella ley kar nikley hum
   ghari aaiye phisley hum
   uupar basta neechay hum
   chum chum chum

   here chum chum means the sound of rain
   we went out taking umbrella,
   the vehicle came and we slipped,
   we were (lying)down and the (school)bag was laid upon us

   I was brought up with Bangla, Urdu, Punjabi and English at the same time.
   I have some lullabies from films and others. But best for small babies -they sleep well when you hum at the rate of your rocking, swaying or swinging or patting. Start with a llttle speedier humming then gradually slow the speed and the action. USe any or mix and match humming, aa-ha-ha-a aaah-ha-hum, oonnh-hoonh-hoonh-hohon-hoon-hoon, la la la…

   1. Urdu try” Chanda mama dur key …” ” Do akhian, eeye do sakhiyan…”humming etc
   2. Bangla try” Phuley, phuley, do-o-ley, do-o-ley… or “Ghoom aye, ghoom aye, aye ghoom…” humming ettc.
   3. English nothing beats, ” Silent night… holy night…’ in any form.
   4. Punjabi: for strang reasons my grandson(a marathi- Bangali) fell for this one: “Desan da raja mere babul da piyra…” in slow humming.
   I mixed and matched and I still do. Happy baby snores!!!

   sip pie ko bal line gay
   double roti biscuit!!!

   Don’t know the last line for sure :/
