Let me present three different types of songs performed by Pete Seeger in 1960 – a lullaby, protest song, and an entertainment song.
Seeger said learning another language is like entering the soul of another people. He included in his repertoire songs from all over the world, including this gentle Indonesian lullaby called Suliram, which was traditionally sung to children in Indonesia and Malaysia at bedtime. Here is the first verse with an English translation.
