When I was little, my mother used to sing me the Swedish lullaby Trollmors vaggsång. Her mother sang it to her, and I sang it to my daughter.
The lullaby is about a troll mother putting her eleven little trolls to bed and softly singing to them the most beautiful words she knows: ‘ho aj aj aj aj buff.’
It’s a tender and surreal song, much like motherhood.
