That good feeling when a song brings you back to time and reminds you of the good old days when you were younger and everything was much much more calm and peacefull.
Love this tune for over 15yrs...this is the first time iv'e seen the video....so good to hear it again...and it still invokes the same feelings....xxx thanks youtube
BAEGU (SOLOMON ISLANDS): Sasi sasi o to aro aro O angi si nau boroi amu Ni ma oe e fasi korona Dolali dasa na, lao dai afuimae Afuta guau mauri, Afuta wela inomae Sasi sasi ae o angisi nau Boroi nima oe e fasi koro na Dolali dasa na, lao dai afuimae Afuta guau mauri, Afuta wela inomae ENGLISH INTERPRETATION Young brother, young brother you be quiet Although you are crying to me Your father has left us He has gone to the place of the dead Protect the head of the living, Protect the orphan child Young brother, young brother hey? Although you are crying to me Your father has left us He has gone to the place of the dead Protect the head of the living, protect the orphan child. At the core of Sweet Lullaby is the voice and melody of Afunakwa from the Solomon Islands who comes from the island of Malaita (region: Fataleka). Her singing was recorded in 1969 by ethnomusicologist Hugo Zemp in an effort to archive the traditions of a fading culture. This interpretation and lyrics come a translation by her grandchildren. The song is said to be very old and hence the new generation does not understand every word. The song is about a young child crying because he does not see his father with the family. In response his elder sister sung this song to comfort as well as tell him the reality, with an appeal for their deceased father to protect this child in the land of the living (local ancient belief is that the dead care for loved ones they left behind). The old woman also said that the sample, if listened to carefully, used some words and sounds that were added to make it sound more melo. Expression of some words twice, as well pronounciation of most of the words are different from that of normal conversation. Eg. ‘O’ should be OE’, Angiangi should be angisi. This is very common with local traditional songs. Thanks to the people of the Solomon Islands for the lyrics, translation, and interpretation.
I love this song it has soul and is deep emotional feelings I never knew what was all about till today part of the song was used in Komodo Mauro Picotto Released on 31 July 2000 thats where I heard first time about this songs I think it is beautiful song both songs to be honest.
When i was a kid my parents took me and my sister to a very famous national park, the only natural primitive spot on a very popolous city and urbanized city. This song was being played when we entered on an enormous waterfall. I have been looking for this song around 9 or 10 years in my life. The reward feeling of recovering such a poignant memory makes me speechless! Thank you, very very much.
I am saddened by the negative comments below regarding the origins of part of this timelessly beautiful piece of music. Deep Forest should be praised for helping to deepen appreciation of world music in all its songs rather than criticised for adapting a folk melody to a remarkable piece of contemporary music. Such adaptation has been a part of musical composition since man began to sing and is a feature of the most admired classical composers. Brahms used folk dances in one of his most successful compositions, just to cite one example. It is how music is written quite simply. Indeed all artists, whether composers, writers or painters, all use each others' works to build their own and such 'borrowing' makes the resulting work all the richer. To take such a beautiful motif in the folk melody and compose what is undeniably an unforgettable piece, making that motif accessible to listeners all over the world and especially in the Western world which sometimes forgets the rest of the world exists, that is the act of genius to be celebrated. Music, like poetry, literature, indeed any aspect of our culture cannot be owned, as the misguided writer below seems to suggest. This person has missed the point of all musical composition and much else. Listen to the music and the spirit which lies behind it and try to leave such negativity behind. Deep Forest is one of the finest composers alive and someone of enormous personal and artistic integrity. There are so few in the world of corporate music today. We should feel grateful that Deep Forest exists in the face of things like One Direction and much else. And of course any video accompanying any song is simply an artistic interpretation of the video maker, rarely of the musician behind the song. Does it matter if it represents Africa? It could as easily show any family group from anywhere since the emotions behind this wonderful song are universal. That is what deep Forest is telling us. Unite rather than divide.
As most of you (hopefully) are aware - the original "lullaby" originated from a woman in the Malaita province in the Solomon Islands (in the South Pacific islands) but was unfortunately misappropriated by Deep Forest and made to seem as though it was sang in a West African language. I know this because I am originally from the Solomon Islands and it is so strange for me to see these bizarre interpretations of the meaning as well as its wide use in Western media and live concerts (with the lead singer being a random black African-styled female). Hopefully people can look deeper into these "hauntingly beautiful" songs to appreciate it deeper instead of believing anything they first read.
Annie, do the words translate into English and, if so, do they make sense. I know what you mean about Deep Forest's misappropriation but they have brought it to a wide audience so don't be too hard on them. From my listening ear it's a lovely song. A translation, would, if you could, be great. All the best Biscayforce12
biscayforce12 Just found this Biscayforce, I have no idea if any of it is true but thought you'd like to know. Personally I'd like to think it is correct as its quite a beautiful but sad translation. Little child, little child be calm Even though you still weep Your father has left us Protect the elderly, protect the orphan. Little child, little child be calm Even though you still weep Your father has gone to the afterlife Protect the elderly, protect the orphan
Annie Cheffers Hi Annie, I too am from the Solomons. I'm half Australian, half Solo living in Brisbane. Hopefully Deep Forest's Sweet Lullaby will inspire people to learn more about the Solomon Islands.
This is an interview with the woman's family. It was recorded in 1969 and she is now dead. The song is a lullaby to a child who's parents are both dead. She sings that she will care for the child and to comfort it. /watch?v=BiHTh6NnoWo Please thumb up so people can learn about the songs origin.
I love thhis song is so beutiful and sad at the same time. I just want to share some information that i foud in Wikipedia, The song is based around a traditional Baegu lullaby from the Solomon Islands called "Rorogwela", and uses a vocal sample originally recorded by ethnomusicologist Hugo Zemp in 1970 and later released by UNESCO as part of their Musical Sources collection. The lyrics refer to a young orphan being comforted by his older brother despite the loss of their parents.
I first heard this song as a teenager. I felling in love with it and Deep Forest. My friends thought I was weird listening to them, but that just made me appreciate Deep Forest more. I am 37 now and this song takes me back.
Sheer beauty. There is not enough music like this in our world. Great to finally get to see the video after all these years. Thanks for posting. Much respect to all the artists involved. Thank you.
paddyoclown Yep i remember listening Gorillaz 19/2000,FSOL Cascade and Stardust Music sounds better with you, at that time i didn't have pc or even mobile phone and look at now how over time it change everything :) I am little sad and happy at same time :D
Oh mann... its so sad... This song is so pure it's like a peacefull tune from heaven. The beat fit perfectly the voice of the lady. Really a masterpiece.. Peace to the world and Peace to all the people on earth.
I like how it shows children playing then you see adults playing similarly. You also see the little boy with his thumb in his mouth then you see an adult doing the same thing. You even see an adult laying off someone's lap after you see the baby! So, in some ways adults aren't that much different from children after all! It's adorable really but also sad because many people are bitter and mean in real life....they'd be to chicken to show the more human side of themselves!!
this video is so great!!!!!!!!!!!! reminds me of my best years, my teenage years in the 90's..... coming home from school ans watching MTV for long hours!!!!
How could one of the most beautiful songs of the world have a sad lyric about orphanhood? It's amazing... I think the little brother now are so calm... as we are!
wow I cannot believe some people disliked this song... its a worldy song that makes anyone from any nationality want to cry n go hug what means most to them...
It has taking me 9 years to find this song from when I first heard it on TV here in Australia, it still as amazing as when i first heard it. . . just WOW. . .
I love it , it brings a strange kind of crying/ joyous emotion out of me when I hear it! I let my kid listen to it, it's good for the soul. If there was only this kind of music to influence the world, I believe it would truly be a happier place to live in. Don't u all agree?
I was looking for this song about some 17 years. I think I heard it in 1992 for the first time... An amazing song... Don't you think it's a wonderful and quite a mystic language, even if it seems to disapear... Greatings from Luxemburg
I'm proud that this was displayed on MTV at one point? They used to be more about some quality music instead of teen moms. Forever one of my favorite videos.
@zedremy Although the Afunakwa controversy/mislabelling on the cd cover is inexcusable, I think it should be noted that Deep Forest have (according to Wiki) donated a percentage of their profits from sales of their first 2 albums to help Zaire's pygmy population in their transition to an agrarian culture, as well as Hungary's gypsy population. They also actively support the Sana Madagascar Association, showing that they're clearly not intending to rip off the people who provide their samples.
One of my faves of theirs. The first song they came out with in 1993 or thereabouts. I was captured when I first heard it back then, and immediately bought the CD. Still love the sound...
Back in 2010 I saw this music video on Czech tv channel while visiting ex’ parents during Christmas in Prague. Then bf called the tv channel asked who is the artist making the song. 2019 today Still listening. I was a naive Asian girl with no ideas regarding to substance abuse ( prescription drugs,alcohol ext.) ex was my first Caucasian bf, a young in heart, wild Czech , turned sociopath due to long history of substance abuse. But still I appreciated I met him, for awareness for substance abusive behaviors, going sailing, almost get arrested in Thailand etc. Ex thinks he is a little prince and I was his rose. Years goes by I figured out I was never the rose , his substances were. Still overall in my mind we shared a very intimate tastes in music, thank him for introducing me Dead Can Dance, Kate Bush, Charles Bukowski, Nick Cave & bad seeds, ect. and we always enjoying listening music like Enigma, cafe Del Mar, sometimes well Sade or Leonard Cohen together. (And ofc his significant contribution in introducing Andrew Blake.) I believe he has an artistic heart, but that heart just too heavy for me to carry eventually. Years goes by I still coming back to music like Deep forest, New age, continuing exploring more , and stick with psychedelic rock, dream pop/ shoe gazing (Cocteau twins), trip pop(hooverphonic), 80s uk music invasion, many many... I guess music is important, for interracial couple like me and my past relationships there are moments as lost in translation, but music trends passing it. For years I ve been feeling out of places mostly, from Australia, China, Taiwan, and most recently studied in UK , then coming back to Asia living close to family. Lone cat lady like me coming from relationships to relationships , friendship to friendship , middle age crisis to depression (like my Czech ex) , but I was never turning into substance abuse, and I think music keep me accompany and hold my sanity (lol) I glad when I feel nothing i could still listen to music and memorize my prime time. I ve been looking and searching for stuff quite a long time But I never could find it. I gain wise by aging. But also get stupider (bad at remembering things). Sometimes I think forget about it, I will just give up on searching. Worked for years I realized I actually never lived in the present. I always worried about future and look back into past. I need to stop retrieving like this with my long nags. Anyways, sweet lullaby, still listening , hopefully tonight it will help me sleep soundly. Coyote is gone, old soul set in :)
Very beautiful and original song & video. I think Deep Forest is very underrated band, they were as good as Enigma but didn't get much recognition. Their music reminds me Enigma, Sandra and a bit Sade
Es extraña y fascinante esta cancion. Siempre la escuchaba y no sabia de quien era, y aunque su origen este lleno de controversias, me resulta realmente muy espirtual y trascendentalista la propuesta tanto de la musica como el video...
This song is originated from Solomon Islands in the South Pacific. The chant was stolen in the late 40s. Tract recorded without the consent of the woman. The woman was from Fataleka,one of the village known as Namofata located at the interior of Fataleka in Malaita Province. The woman who sang this chant by the name Olifikwaso.
Macdonald Diko Are you sure? The song "Rorogwela", a traditional Baegu lullaby from North-West Malaita sung by Afunakwa was recorded by Swiss-French ethnomusicologist Hugo Zemp in 1969 and later released by UNESCO as part of their Musical Sources collection in 1973 and re-released in 1990. Hugo Zemp raised an objection to the use of this sample and other samples in his collection. I believe the proceeds of the sale of this album goes to UNESCO.
A classic song. Will always be a favourite. There is something haunting, mysterious, sad and enchanting about the video. Take a look at our world and see for yourself.
my parents used to do the same :) i used to live in darwin and it brings back all the memories from when i was younger! i think they used to advertise it on SBS.
I have been looking for this song for as long as I can remember. I didn't remember the name of the song, or the artist. But now that I've found it... I am infinitely happy.
i seriously think this song can bring peace to this world. if this song can make me cry then it really can make anyone cry cuz im not the type of guy that cries but this song is just really something special i think it should be the anthem of the world
This song played on a channel called SBS as I was a child, and I personaly find it very nostalgic. Beautiful, touching, and warm. Leaves me with the question - What kind of world do we live in?
the world has always been greed and ruthless, but amidst all that there was also beauty like this. and we are fortunate to be able to appreciate it. those who dislike this song sadly have no heart or brain and are sad souls who need to be pampered by life in order to feel any joy of it. i'm not hating! just honest:) peace
The best in this video,-and I like, of course- in the proyect of the director of the video: the trip of the little girl who looks trough the frame, to see if the image fit in this (chaotic, petty and cynical) world; in a poetic proposal.
Sa ziza zecob dela dalou'a Boralea'e borale mi komi oula Etawuae'o ela'o coralia wu'aila Ilei pandera zel e' tomu pere no mo mai Alatawuané icas imani'u Barletas e'e barkia'a Pro'e lai e'le a pantou la'u Alatawuané icas imani'u Ilei pandera zel e' tomu pere no mo mai "Pequeno irmão, pequeno irmão, pare de chorar, pare de chorar Enquanto você chora e chora, quem irá te carregar? Quem mais irá te guiar?, nós dois somos orfãos agora Da ilha dos mortos, o espírito deles irá continuar a olhar por nós Apenas como majestades, cuidando de nós com toda a sabedoria daquele lugar Pequeno irmão, pequeno irmão, mesmo nos jardins do paraíso Essa canção de ninar continua a todos embalar (sejam anjos, sejamos nós)" A canção é baseada em uma cantiga de ninar - na língua Baegu, originária das Ilhas Salomão - chamada "Rorogwela".

Yes, indeed. I'm so old, I remember the times when you could hear some good music on MTV.
Viva as well. I think this track you could hear at least once a day.
When MTV, was MTV!! Those beautiful days!!!😭❤️
me encanta este grupo su musica me inspira a la meditacion, y a la vez me transporta a lugares magicos con los ojos abiertos me facina

You see this is when MTV was music television... now all that junk on it.
Oh mann... its so sad...
This song is so pure it's like a peacefull tune from heaven.
The beat fit perfectly the voice of the lady.
Really a masterpiece..
Peace to the world and Peace to all the people on earth.

How could one of the most beautiful songs of the world have a sad lyric about orphanhood? It's amazing... I think the little brother now are so calm... as we are!
wow I cannot believe some people disliked this song... its a worldy song that makes anyone from any nationality want to cry n go hug what means most to them...

I'm proud that this was displayed on MTV at one point? They used to be more about some quality music instead of teen moms.
Forever one of my favorite videos.
Amazing превосходно сонун
@zedremy Although the Afunakwa controversy/mislabelling on the cd cover is inexcusable, I think it should be noted that Deep Forest have (according to Wiki) donated a percentage of their profits from sales of their first 2 albums to help Zaire's pygmy population in their transition to an agrarian culture, as well as Hungary's gypsy population. They also actively support the Sana Madagascar Association, showing that they're clearly not intending to rip off the people who provide their samples.

But still I appreciated I met him, for awareness for substance abusive behaviors, going sailing, almost get arrested in Thailand etc.
Ex thinks he is a little prince and I was his rose. Years goes by I figured out I was never the rose , his substances were.
Still overall in my mind we shared a very intimate tastes in music, thank him for introducing me Dead Can Dance, Kate Bush, Charles Bukowski, Nick Cave & bad seeds, ect. and we always enjoying listening music like Enigma, cafe Del Mar, sometimes well Sade or Leonard Cohen together. (And ofc his significant contribution in introducing Andrew Blake.)
I believe he has an artistic heart, but that heart just too heavy for me to carry eventually.
Years goes by I still coming back to music like Deep forest, New age, continuing exploring more , and stick with psychedelic rock, dream pop/ shoe gazing (Cocteau twins), trip pop(hooverphonic), 80s uk music invasion, many many...

I glad when I feel nothing i could still listen to music and memorize my prime time.
I ve been looking and searching for stuff quite a long time But I never could find it. I gain wise by aging. But also get stupider (bad at remembering things).

Coyote is gone, old soul set in :)
nice story how you been now ?
Amoooooooooo ouvir esta canção !!!
MAGIC SONG I AM FROM COLOMBIA,90S CRY CRY CRY,COME BACK PLEASE
Very beautiful and original song & video. I think Deep Forest is very underrated band, they were as good as Enigma but didn't get much recognition.

This song is originated from Solomon Islands in the South Pacific. The chant was stolen in the late 40s. Tract recorded without the consent of the woman. The woman was from Fataleka,one of the village known as Namofata located at the interior of Fataleka in Malaita Province. The woman who sang this chant by the name Olifikwaso.
Macdonald Diko Are you sure? The song "Rorogwela", a traditional Baegu lullaby from North-West Malaita sung by Afunakwa was recorded by Swiss-French ethnomusicologist Hugo Zemp in 1969 and later released by UNESCO as part of their Musical Sources collection in 1973 and re-released in 1990. Hugo Zemp raised an objection to the use of this sample and other samples in his collection. I believe the proceeds of the sale of this album goes to UNESCO.
Visually, a beautiful setting for a fabulous piece of Earth music. Dig the nostalgia of the logo in the background! ;)

What a gem! Love love this song!!!
Yes thats the meaning. Very nice song. It seems many nice songs have lyrics of sad things.
This has got to be one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard, native song I mean.
Visually & aurally mesmerizing..Thanks so posting!
A classic song. Will always be a favourite. There is something haunting, mysterious, sad and enchanting about the video. Take a look at our world and see for yourself.
if you hear this,
stay away from gliding black guy
I LOVE this song so much. ^.^ when i was little. love you mum :)
Simply amazing visuals & song...
oh yes...beautifull harmonie!! This is the time what MTV was pure in its concept..is a shame that right in this momen it concept doesnt exist...!!
The SBS network in OZ used to use this in it's promos.. "The World is an Amazing Place. And it still makes me cry.
Beauty made music... Thank You!!!
I remember when this was the SBS promo in the 90's, it's just so beautiful!
my parents used to do the same :) i used to live in darwin and it brings back all the memories from when i was younger! i think they used to advertise it on SBS.
so calming
ive been listening to this since i was little and it just makes me sooooo happy!!
The good old MTV, miss it so much....
Wow. My mom played this in my ears as a baby. I've been listening to it since. I'm 15 now.
Man, this song brings me to tears everytime.
Muito booom!!!!
I have been looking for this song for as long as I can remember. I didn't remember the name of the song, or the artist. But now that I've found it... I am infinitely happy.
Beautiful song. I remember watching the video 20 years ago. MTV even used it in an episode of The Real World (season 3) back then.
i seriously think this song can bring peace to this world. if this song can make me cry then it really can make anyone cry cuz im not the type of guy that cries but this song is just really something special i think it should be the anthem of the world
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder...much like an opinion. Some people see no beauty in the music you treasure the most and vice versa
the world is an amazing place.... sbs. still remember this song after sbs used it in its ads.
Aye, the legends are true. This was in a time long, long ago, a magical and forgotten era...
The 80's.
Amazing song always puts me in a good mood love it :D
a great song for meditation......first saw it on SBS [aussie television station]
good old times, I remember having that background beat as a preset on my CASIO keyboard ^_^!
deep forest
Thank you for the answer !!!!! again beautiful song
This song played on a channel called SBS as I was a child, and I personaly find it very nostalgic. Beautiful, touching, and warm. Leaves me with the question - What kind of world do we live in?
beautiful song, amazing video, it makes me feel so deeply emotional i could cry
making the world a better place with music and hope!
the world has always been greed and ruthless, but amidst all that there was also beauty like this. and we are fortunate to be able to appreciate it. those who dislike this song sadly have no heart or brain and are sad souls who need to be pampered by life in order to feel any joy of it. i'm not hating! just honest:) peace
The best in this video,-and I like, of course- in the proyect of the director of the video: the trip of the little girl who looks trough the frame, to see if the image fit in this (chaotic, petty and cynical) world; in a poetic proposal.
Sa ziza zecob dela dalou'a
Boralea'e borale mi komi oula
Etawuae'o ela'o coralia wu'aila
Ilei pandera zel e' tomu pere no mo mai
Alatawuané icas imani'u
Barletas e'e barkia'a
Pro'e lai e'le a pantou la'u
Alatawuané icas imani'u
Ilei pandera zel e' tomu pere no mo mai
"Pequeno irmão, pequeno irmão, pare de chorar, pare de chorar
Enquanto você chora e chora, quem irá te carregar?
Quem mais irá te guiar?, nós dois somos orfãos agora
Da ilha dos mortos, o espírito deles irá continuar a olhar por nós
Apenas como majestades, cuidando de nós com toda a sabedoria daquele lugar
Pequeno irmão, pequeno irmão, mesmo nos jardins do paraíso
Essa canção de ninar continua a todos embalar (sejam anjos, sejamos nós)"
A canção é baseada em uma cantiga de ninar - na língua Baegu, originária das Ilhas Salomão - chamada "Rorogwela".
