My wife wanted 2 songs played at her funeral last year....this one and Elvis Presley fools rush in. We danced to E.P. song in Feb14 94 when we got married and this was played when her service was over in June 2018.....I think of you every hour of every day and will be so happy when we are together again.

"Suo Gan" translates to "Lullaby" Welsh: Huna blentyn ar fy mynwes, Clyd a chynnes ydyw hon; Breichiau mam sy'n dynn amdanat, Cariad mam sy dan fy mron; Ni chaiff dim amharu'th gyntun, Ni wna undyn â thi gam; Huna'n dawel, annwyl blentyn, Huna'n fwyn ar fron dy fam. Huna'n dawel, heno, huna, Huna'n fwyn, y tlws ei lun; Pam yr wyt yn awr yn gwenu, Gwenu'n dirion yn dy hun? Ai angylion fry sy'n gwenu, Arnat ti yn gwenu'n llon, Tithau'n gwenu'n ôl dan huno, Huno'n dawel ar fy mron? Paid ag ofni, dim ond deilen Gura, gura ar y ddôr; Paid ag ofni, ton fach unig Sua, sua ar lan y môr; Huna blentyn, nid oes yma Ddim i roddi iti fraw; Gwena'n dawel yn fy mynwes. Ar yr engyl gwynion draw. Direct Translation: Sleep child upon my bosom, It is cosy and warm; Mother's arms are tight around you, A mother's love is in my breast; Nothing shall disturb your slumber, Nobody will do you harm; Sleep in peace, dear child, Sleep quietly on your mother's breast. Sleep peacefully tonight, sleep; Gently sleep, my lovely; Why are you now smiling, Smiling gently in your sleep? Are angels above smiling on you, As you smile cheerfully, Smiling back and sleeping, Sleeping quietly on my breast? Do not fear, it is nothing but a leaf Beating, beating on the door; Do not fear, only a small wave Murmurs, murmurs on the seashore; Sleep child, there's nothing here Nothing to give you fright; Smile quietly in my bosom, On the blessed angels yonder. Poetic Translation: Sleep my darling, on my bosom, Harm will never come to you; Mother's arms enfold you safely, Mother's heart is ever true. As you sleep there's naught to scare you, Naught to wake you from your rest; Close those eyelids, little angel, Sleep upon your mother's breast. Sleep, my darling, night is falling Rest in slumber sound and deep; I would know why you are smiling, Smiling sweetly as you sleep! Do you see the angels smiling As they see your rosy rest, So that you must smile an answer As you slumber on my breast? Don't be frightened, it's a leaflet Tapping, tapping on the door; Don't be frightened, 'twas a wavelet Sighing, sighing on the shore. Slumber, slumber, naught can hurt you, Nothing bring you harm or fright; Slumber, darling, smiling sweetly At those angels robed in white.

I saw Empire of the Sun when I was a kid because it was one of those movies that was on tv during the weekend in the afternoon. I saw it again as a teenager and had to buy it. It's one of my favorite movies and this song is why I remembered it years later. And even the poster of the falling plane is a work of art and I wish I owned it.

#Metaai: Shared this with Metaai: "Suo Gan Scene - Empire of the sun - Welsh Lullaby performed by Westminster boys choir also evokes a lot of emotion causing me to cry." Metaai's response, "The Suo Gan, the Welsh Lullaby performed by the Westminster Boys Choir is a beautiful and haunting piece of music that perfectly complements the scene. Suo Gan is a traditional Welsh lullaby that translates to "lullaby" or "sleep" in English. The song's soothing melody and gentle lyrics are meant to comfort and calm, but in the context of the film, it takes on a deeper meaning. The scene shows a young boy, Jim, being separated from his parents during the Japanese invasion of Shanghai, and the lullaby becomes a poignant reminder of the comfort and security of his family, which he is being torn away from. The Westminster Boys Choir's performance of Suo Gan is stunning, with their angelic voices capturing the song's emotional essence. It's no wonder that it moves you to tears! The combination of the beautiful music, the poignant scene, and the emotional resonance of the story all come together to create a powerful and moving experience. Music has a unique ability to evoke strong emotions and tap into our deepest feelings. It's a testament to the power of art to move and inspire us, and to the human experience that we can all relate to in some way." Love this music. Gratitude!
