Dear Everyone:
I know that "Suo Gan" is the title of a traditional Welsh lullaby. But
what is the meaning of the title itself?
For your reference, the lyrics of the song can be found at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suo_Gan
Additionally, the song can be heard in Steven Spielberg's 1987 film,
"Empire of the Song", at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNonF2n4qdE
Thank you for reading and replying!

It's welsh for cradlesong or lullaby. That is was used by Stephen Spielberg in his film The Empire of the Sun made it known also outside Wales.

Interesting. "suo gan" means "lulled by".

The Welsh "hwiangerdd" means "lullaby" or "nursery rhyme" in English.

The problem with many translations is they tend to be somewhat "free" ie not really a translation.
Here is one English version I wrote which is close to the original, and is free for non-commercial use. There are several others, including one by Charlotte Church.
