The Lyrics for the CD are listed below and are also contained within the CD booklet.
watanay (iroquois indian)

ho ho watanay
ho ho watanay
ho ho watanay
kiyokena, kiyokena

hush now (original composition)

hush now, hush my darling
hush now, the night is come
hush now, dark is falling
hush now, the night is come

quiet now the day is over
no more the heat of the sun
no more work the night is falling
long day is done

ah-ooh, ah-ooh, hush now the night is come

precious child (nicaraguan)

see how the water dances with sunlight
see how it shines diamond bright
see how the forest dapples with moonlight
softly it fades into the night

all the world is sleeping
love alone prevails
in your boat of dreaming
my song fills your sails

you found me (esthonian)

stars find the night sky
and waves find the ocean
and bees find the honey
and you found me
my own little baby

did you have far to go?
did you search high and low?
did you know always
i'd wait for you?


pretty little horses/go to sleep (american)

hush-a-bye, don't you cry
go to sleep my little baby
when you wake you shall have
all the pretty little horses

blacks and greys, dapples and bays
coach and six the little horses

go to sleep baby mine
go to sleep my little baby
when you wake you shall have
all the pretty little horses

blacks and greys, dapples and bays
coach and six the little horses

all me rock (jamaican)

all me rock me rock baby
baby wouldn't sleep
all me rock me rock baby
baby wouldn't sleep

go uptown go downtown
see baby there

go uptown go downtown
see baby there

all me rock me rock baby
baby wouldn't sleep
all me rock me rock baby
baby wouldn't sleep

sleep my baby (iranian)

sleep my baby, sweet sleep my child
oh lullabye
close your weary eyes
all the birds fly to the nest
and sing lullabye
softly now to rest they call
as evening draws nigh
all the world is silent now
the small stars glow bright
soft wind shall sing you
a lullabye

bees hum the silent twilight glow
still now and calm the waters flow
so sleep now my baby
oh sweet sleep my child
oh lullabye
oh lullabye
