It is a lullaby that starts with some Ethiopian traditional lullabies dedicated to my daughter Mahlet

intro: traditional lullabies in the Oromo, Wolaytta, Tigre, Silt’e, and Amhara languages.

(Traditional lullaby in Amharic:
sleep my little one, sleep my babe
as I cook I carry you on my back
as I grind I carry you on my back
but by now my back is scraped to bits
come on, time to get down,
my little one!)

My beloved world,
my little nook of joy,
sweet snare of love,
that is you, my rosebud
