Empire of the Sun: Suo Gan - Piano by Stilicho74
Empire of the Sun: Suo Gan, traditional; arranged for the movie by John Williams.This is probably only something for fans of the movie (directed by Steven Spielberg) - my favourite movie and favourite soundtrack, and, besides, favourite novel (by J.G. Ballard)!"Suo Gan" is based upon an old welsh lullaby, consequently with welsh lyrics. Translation would be as follows:Sleep my baby, at my breast,Tis a mothers arms round you.Make yourself a snug, warm nest.Feel my love forever new.Harm will not meet you in sleep,Hurt will always pass you by.Child beloved, always youll keep,In sleep gentle, mothers breast nigh.Sleep in peace tonight, sleep,O sleep gently, what a sight.A smile I see in slumber deep.What visions make your face bright?Are the angels above smiling,At you in your peaceful rest?Are you beaming back while inPeaceful slumber on mothers breast?Do not fear the sound, its a breezeBrushing leaves against the door.Do not dread the murmuring seas,Lonely waves washing the shore.Sleep child mine, theres nothing here,While in slumber at my breast,Angels smiling, have no fear,Holy angels guard your rest.Perfectly fitting for the movie!
