about

This traditional Catalan lullaby presents a dialogue between mother and daughter, which we have chosen to represent by giving the first verse to Gwen and the second to Lael. We have also complemented the early 18th-century style with a bassline and more dense chording combining harp and guitar.



Mareta, Mareta, n’om faces plorar
Compra’m la nineta avui qu’es el meu sant.
Que tinga la nina hermosos els ulls
La cara molt fina i els cabells molt rull

Marieta, Marieta jo es cantaré
una cançoneta que ta adormiré.
Dorm-te, neneta, dorm si tens son.
Dorm-te, neneta, dorm si tens son.

~

Mommy, dear Mommy, don't make me cry,
Today is my saint's day, so buy me a doll.
Let the doll have beautiful eyes,
A pretty face and very curly hair.

Mary, little Mary, I will sing you
A ditty and I'll lull you to sleep.
Sleep, little one, sleep, if you're sleepy.
Sleep, little one, sleep, if you're sleepy.



Bill: great bass recorder
Gwen: voice, harp
Amy: zils, shaker, dumbek
Penny: flute
Lael: voice, guitar
