Solen er så rød, mor is an old Danish lullaby about a boy asking his mother questions about the night and the dark while she sits by his bedside togging him to sleep. In this rework, the Danish composer and producer Infralyd transforms the old folk melody into a soothing and atmospheric ambient soundscape full of light and air while maintaining the slight melancholic feel of the original lullaby.
lyrics
Lyrics in Danish:
Solen er så rød, mor,
og skoven blir så sort.
Nu er solen død, mor,
og dagen gået bort.
Ræven går derude, mor.
Vi låser vores gang.
Kom, sæt dig ved min pude, mor,
og syng en lille sang.
Himlen er så stor, mor,
med klare stjerner på.
Hvem monstro der bor, mor,
på stjernen i det blå?
Tror du, der er drenge, mor,
der kigger ned til mig?
Og tror du, de har senge, mor,
og sover li’som jeg?
Hvorfor blir det nat, mor,
og kold og bitter vind?
Hør den lille kat,mor,
denmjaver og vil ind.
Mågerne og ternerne
har ingen sted at bo.
Å hør, nu synger stjernerne.
De synger mig til ro.
