about

Based on the traditional Yiddish lullaby with Joel Engel's Hebrew lyrics.
An exploration of sleep as a cultural metaphor for end of life.

lyrics

Sleep, sleep, my child, sleep, sleep.
Sleep, sleep, my little one, sleep, sleep.

Gayku the hanging cloud
Floats above the thick Rainforest
Hanging there in a sweet, deep sleep.
The spirit goes up high
To the clouds that hang
The clouds known as Gayku.

Sleep now,
Under the Wulminda tree
Thick foliage provides a cool, dark shade.
Sleep under the shade
Of the Wulminda tree
Then say, "It has become night".
