Well, I’ve got two remaining days with you, so please, please, hold on there and allow me to hold you, to care for you. But, dears, my touch, my care, my smile, the songs, and the bonding I had with you might be forgotten, but, believe me when I say, ‘You made a difference in my life. Of course you will never remember me singing the lullaby, you will never know you once peed on me while I was changing your diaper, you will never know how I fought sleepiness so hard just to be awake for straight twelve hours during the night shift because I need you to be safe, you will never know how many prayers I have uttered just to make my shift end smoothly, and guess, your parents will never knew how I cared and will even forget me. You will come out from here, grow up and be the change you can be in this world full of bitterness. ![]() For two weeks, I’ve been paranoid every single day even after my shift ends. I feed them, carry them, put them to sleep, bathe them (if possible), monitor, care and most of all love them. For twelve hours every day, I get to experience a bit but challenging part of being a mother a mother of six, I should say. Six little beings under my care, trusting my every action. I need to and I did.īut the next day, two became three, four, five and finally, six.

It is also known as tumaila in Kapampangan and langan bata’ bata’ in Tausug.Īs lullabies are sung and passed on from generation to generation, the child is not only lulled to sleep, but is also acquainted with one’s culture as well as stories, lessons, and values from the family. The word lullaby is known in various terms such as uyayi or oyayi, hulu na, hele na, halo na, and hili na, which means “Close your eyes now” (Bañas 1975). In the various regions of the Philippines, lullabies are sung or performed in various text or lyrics. The text or lyrics of the song also express meaningful messages that often describe family life or impart messages such as a mother’s high hopes for her child when he or she grows up. Like other lullabies, “Philippine lullabies tend to be soporific in tune and sometimes repetitious in text.” (Eugenio 1996) The slow and steady swaying of the cradle mimics the rhythm of the song. Lullabies are sung to lull or put a baby or child to sleep. Like other folk songs, they are handed down orally from one generation to the next, and hearing them again somehow brings about a sense of nostalgia. These are first heard and learned at home and are sung by the mother. Lullabies are perhaps one’s first encounter with music.
