"Sleep My Baby Dear" But in Hebrew

[Stormwatcher]

 
So basically my native Language is Hebrew so I'm reading the books in Hebrew. I really love composing and making music so the moment I'v seen that there are Lyrics to a song In WoR I knew I had to do it. So here it is, I hope you enjoy it and please comment what you thought of it despite the language barrier.

I want to also share how amazing and strong the secend appearance of this song was for me,  after I'v already composed it and read the words with my tune.

That's really cool! Given the Arabic/Asian influences found in the series, I think performing a song in Hebrew feels like a very natural sound.

Being someone who is familiar with both english and hebrew I can honestly say that there is something truly haunting and appropriate about this rendition of the lullaby.

But Hebrew Is Jewish, not Arabic\Asian, But I get how to someone who doesn't speak nether  Hebrew can sound a lot like Arabic..

I mean, I guess I should know the difference between the two given that I grew up in a Christian church lol. I do know Hebrew is Jewish, but I kind of assumed the language had at least some phonic similarities to Arabic. But I haven't studied the languages or anything myself, just thought the language fit the vibe of SA was all.

No you're right. Hebrew and Arabic are very close related, they are both semitic languages and their structure is very similar. It is absolutely understandable why someone would confuse them, I'm sure they sound the same to someone who doesn't know them.

Onto the subject I really liked it! It does have that haunting feel to it like nathranking said! Gave me goosebumps!

This is hauntingly beautiful.

RE: Jewish != Arabic, there's this reddit post that I thought I would never see in my life.  So it's still appropriate, nevertheless. 

Nitpick aside, this is not really my kind of thing but still cool.
