The yearning for husband
To celebrate our first day of the million years ahead\nI'm dressing up our boudoir so it can be fulfilled\nBut if I move here then I'd hit the trunk\nThen I move over there I'd hit the pillow\nAnd I thought it'd be my lover to caress \n\nLullabies (Ru) within the family environment has a hypnotising function, where it's used to ease the child into sleeping. Southern Vietnam (Nam bộ) lullabies was formed and sustained through the many layers of Nam bộ culture. The environmental ecosystem and culture have given it a distinctive form that is expressed through lyrics, melodies, and rhytms.
