O Cravo Brigou Com a Rosa

 

 

 

 O Cravo Brigou Com A Rosa is a short and sentimental Brazilian lullaby that tells the story about a carnation that fought with the rose under a balcony. Both get hurt and bruised in different ways. The song could be an allegory for people that are stuck with each other in small spaces and have to come along despite their differences or conflicts between two people that love each other. Passalens art-club which consists of young people with disabbilities interpreted the song through paintings, photograps and drawings.

Był Sobie Król - Polish lullaby

The polish lullaby entitled Był Sobie Król – that can be translated to Once upon a time lived a King is a fairytale trapped in a song.The plot is long and poetic and tells the story about a King, a Princess and a Page that lived happily together amongst flowers and dreams, loving each other dearly. But then suddenly out of nowhere a tragedy occured: The king was eaeten by a cat, the page by a dog and the little sweet princess was eaten by a mouse. But so that the child that is listening to the song won´t be too sad because of this tragedy it must know this: the king was made of sugar, the Page was made of gingerbread and the princess was made of marzipan.

The lyrics were written by: Janina Porazińska
Melody: traditional
Song: Diana Rönnberg
Music production and arrangement: Kordian Rönnberg

The song is sang from the perspective of a mother and goes something like that:

 

The child is crying

It wants to drink the milk from its mother

If you will cry child – then I will also cry!

The child is crying

It wants to drink the milk from its mother

If you will be silent child, then I will also be silent!

The child is crying

It wants to drink the milk from its mother

If you´ll be happy my child – then I will also be happy!

The child is crying

It wants to drink the milk from its mother

If you will sleep my child - then I will also be able to sleep!

The child is crying 

It wants to drink the milk from its mother.

Text and music: Traditionell från Kongo.
