Would someone translate for me? I'm only guessing on both of these lullabies.

I'd also love to have the melodies.

> My Grandmother from Shetland used to sing the Shetland Lullaby to us when we were kids. Does anyone have the original words and note music to this lullaby? Further, does anyone know the origin of this lullaby--the words and the tune? It is one of the loveliest I have ever heard. I remember it began...'Hushaby my peerie ting, Cuddle close to Mamie,'
