- NEW NEW 2021!!! AMAZING NEW LULLABY by Pergolesi, sung by magical Ernestina. Do not miss it: • Pergolesi: A Golden F...
Suo Gân (Welsh pronunciation: [sɨɔ ɡɑːn]) is a traditional Welsh lullaby written by an anonymous composer. It was first recorded in print around 1800 and the lyrics were notably captured by the Welsh folklorist Robert Bryan. The song's title simply means lullaby (suo = lull; cân = song).
Empire of the Sun is a 1987 American epic coming-of-age war film based on J. G. Ballard's semi-autobiographical novel of the same name. It was directed by Steven Spielberg and stars Christian Bale, John Malkovich, Miranda Richardson, and Nigel Havers. The film tells the story of Jamie "Jim" Graham, a young boy who goes from living in a wealthy British family in Shanghai to becoming a prisoner of war in a Japanese internment camp, during World War II. Suo Gan is the main musical theme of this cinema classic.

I remember this song in that touching scene in "Empire of the Sun." Just thought it was a beautiful song. But, now with the translated words to English, it makes the song even more poignant and profound. It captures Jim's longing to be comforted and embraced, especially during times of fear and uncertainty.
Mu girlfriend passed just before Christmas she was the love of life always loved this song helps me heal
She is in heaven now, and she looking at you.
I picked this song for my father's funeral. It is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. As I listen, I can almost feel my father sitting in his lazy-boy enjoying this with me...This is an extremely beautiful version of it! Thanks for posting it!
Dear Kelly. My deepest condolences.
Kelly, I'm so sorry for your loss. I feel the same way you do about this beautiful song. My ancestors were Welsh, and this song has been a favorite since I first heard it. My father loved this song, too. I hope it continues to bring you comfort in your sorrow.
Dear, my deepest condolences. A big hug 💞💝
You took the words right out of my mouth , no anthem is more beautiful
😉👍💞
I'm Italian & I love it!!!
I also remember it from Empire of the Sun, and it has had an impact on me, especially being of British Chinese and (Liverpool) Welsh origin. My daughter sang it in a school choir long ago, and I am hoping my grandson, who is 3, will appreciate it as a little part of his Welsh heritage.
Yes, there is a God, and He came to bring healing and peace through
songs and hymns like this. I am glad others have experienced comfort and a measure of healing through it.
So beautiful. Sopranist has the voice of an angel.
Piekna pieśń. Pozdrawiam serdecznie z Katowic Polska.
My dad was a passionate Welsh man and a Welsh speaker, we played his in his funeral. Always hits hard when ever I listen to it. Welsh is such a soulful and beautiful language.
As native Slovene I know what you talk about have same feelings about my native Slovene wich is also small rare and beautiful slavic language.
Fantastic performance - bravo!
As an Irish man from Belfast this song seems to tap into every emotion that experience...a wonderful Welsh song/melody..I can relate..it oozes history, culture and pride 💚
Bravo (from Brazil).
As an English man from Lincoln, same.
I’ve always identified with this movie, this song and Jim. For three years, we lived in Yokohama south of Tokyo from ‘59 to ‘62. Dad was an Officer with the Seventh Fleet. Country was so safe for kids, Mom let us roam all over greater Tokyo so long as we were home for dinner. What wonderful adventures for a kid 6 to 9 years old. This was post war Japan. We did know the places to avoid. The super nationalists still hated us. Jim’s adventures always reminded me of our adventures in Japan. The Cold War was scary. Soviet Union, China and North Korea all close by. The A-Bomb tests in Kazakhstan with the Strontium-90 falling on Japan with the rain. The Navy warned us when to stay indoors until the radiation had passed. Yuri Gagarin orbiting above us. My Sister’s friend literally disappeared one night. At a reunion, Sis learned her friend’s Dad was a U-2 pilot. Our Asian U-2s flew out of the Atsugi Naval Air Station west of Tokyo. When Gary Powers was shot down over Russia, Eisenhower ordered all the U-2s back to the States. Her friend’s family was literally put on a plane for home during the night. What great adventures in Japan. I watch this movie at least once a year. I can so easily identify with Jim and his adventures in China. Asia is a magnificent place for a Western Kid to grow up. Great movie. Great song. Great singer. Thank you so much for bringing back the memories.
This is awesome but theres a reason "super nationalists" hated you the American Government dropped 2 nuclear bombs on Japan just to show the Russians they arnt scared of using them.
@@Zach-dk4iu You are only partly right. The real reason we dropped the bombs was all due to President Truman. Remember, he served on the Western Front during WW I. After the terrible casualties at Iwo Jima and Okinawa, he knew the invasion on Japan would bring unacceptable casualties to the American people. Many voices had begun to call for negotiations with the Japanese. That would have left an intact, but reduced Japanese empire. Sorry Alright. You are only part right.
Best movie ever.
Just finished this movie btw
Thanks Reid! This is a wonderful story. Wherever you are, dream of Japan.
My dear old Grandmother used to sing this to me. She had a gorgeous voice. This is lovely and has moved me to tears 😭 xx
that's lovely, cheers.
🎉
Ardderchog! If you told me she was Welsh, I would believe you, perfect intonation for an excruciating beautiful Old Welsh lullaby.
Agreed.
Her beautiful singing voice is out of this world, and unrivaled, and indescribable, and off the charts.
From
A corner of Tokyo of the Land of the Rising Sun🇯🇵
Gänsehaut pur
"This girl can sing! I love it!
Holy cow. I just came across this and I’ve got goosebumps. Ernestina and her voice are so beautiful!
Merci Ernestine pour tout le bonheur que tu nous envoie ❤️❤️❤️
Bravo
I am just a humble piper, but every time I play Suo Gãn the soul of this music flows through the holes of my Chanter…touch my fingers…and through my fingers enter inside my soul…..🏴
💯🫡🇸🇪
AMAZINZ AND Beatiful
My mother, may God rest her Welsh soul, sang me to sleep with this. I can't hear it without tears. Strange, strange, that fine musicians and singers from a faraway country with a very rich musical tradition of its own, would record this, the simplest of lullabyes of a completely different people, in a strange language, and do it with such power and truth to itself. It almost gives me hope for humanity.
Almost.
This song has eerie enchantment in fact no more room room for potential
@tog hoath The film kicks butt at British Hollywood
Music transcends all cultures, bringing us together through the emotion expressed.
puffin51. Because I first heard it in the movie Empire of the Sun I thought it as Japanese. It had that lilt if there is such a thing. How wrong can ya be!? Would love to know what the lyrics mean. That may make it easier to learn. I love it, very much, so peaceful !
The most beautiful version I have heard of this, it brought a tear to my heart❤, loved the film empire of the sun where I first heard it.
When _Empire of the Sun_ was released, our oldest Sons were teenagers and our youngest Son and Daughter were children. The song reminds me of our family back then. It always brings tears to my eyes.
Greetings to your family in the name of Gimnazija Kranj Symphony Orchestra. Time goes by and we are travelers of the edge of endless time.
Concert director Primož Zevnik.
I remember watching Empire of the Sun when I was a little girl and fell in love with this song...43 years old now and still listening to it. Very nostalgic
We had the cassette tape my parents loved this it does choke me up
I am happy to hear this classic Welsh song..so captivatng..watching from Wales UK
My daughter was newborn....I would "da da dee da" sing this to her, whenever I held her. she seemed to enjoy it.
This song touches the soul 😢
One of the best performances I have heard. Thanks to Ernestina Jošt, the Youth Symphony Orchestra and Choirs and the anonymous composer.
Ernestina sings so effortlessly - great talent - last time I heard in Sissel Kyrkjebø's performance of Solveig's Song
this is so very beautiful! thank you for sharing with me!
This song was the lullaby I sang to my firstborn. This is the most beautiful rendition of this song I've ever heard. It's often a favorite of boys' choirs and even men's choirs, but Ernestina Jošt sang it with a tenderness befitting a lullaby I've never heard when sung by men or boys. Brava, bella!
Wonderful - beautiful and sad 😥 - Thank you for sharing !! 💛👏👏👏
I remember watching 13 year old Christian bale now he's 46, what a great movie and a beautiful music, very emotional
I’m also 46 but unlike bale I’ve no money and I’ve put weight on :(
My grandmother was Welsh and would sing this to me when I was little.
Beautiful song. Wales please perserve your beautiful culture and identity
Its difficult, the Nation is bombarded on a daily basis by the English media about how the language is holding Wales back. Yma O Hyd!
That's racist.
Dont you know that?!? How can White people celebrate our culture and history when we are being forced by Law to celebrate, praise and Love everyone else's culture.
My Nain used to sing this to me 60 years ago. I imagine it has been sung for generations - way before the movie
I remember this from "Empire in the Sun," Sung by a very young Christian Bale. It still gives me goose-bumps every time I hear it.
It was James Rainbird and the Ambrosian Junior Choir, lip-synched by Christian Bale.
Bale was born in Wales.
Beautifully sung ….. l remember the sad film Empire of the sun and young Christian Bale……although he didn’t sing it, his acting was superb for such a youngster….
@@ursulabean3179 Indeed. Bale was outstanding. That scene where he practically does a mad dance while the Mustangs bomb the Japanese airfield...then he breaks into tears when confronted by the doctor, that to me was an incredible scene.
Espectacular
rip to my big sister who showed me this movie when i was age just 12 years old 32 years now just come over here and check this song that made us cry even though we don’t know what it meant 🙏🥺♥️ 😇🌺💐🌹
Empire of the Sun
There is some beauty in this world, worth fighting for ❤️✝️🏴 XX
Beautiful rendition of the that lovely song at the end of "Empire of the Sun"... I couldnt stop crying, what that poor child went through, Just gorgeous
Cudovito 🤗🥰 tudi film je fantasticen
Deep thanks Slovenia for singing and playing our beautiful song Suo Gan. A real pleasure to listen. Diolch yn Fawr.
So proud to be welsh from south wales uk
Bravo Ernestina! Ponos slovenstva. Hvala! Daleč najboljša izvedba od vseh!
I could listen to only this song for the rest of my life and be content. Absolutely stunning voice, beautifully done orchestra. Amazing.
Listen this one..

Me Too!
Thomas Conrad - There are just those songs which will affect us that way. This is the first time I have heard "Suo Gan." It is beautiful and I have not often heard Welsh Gaelic. I have one song of which I never tire. It is 236 years old and sung in French. I do not speak French, but can sing this with perfect pronunciation (or maybe it is not that "fancy" and I sing it in a perfect "mimic"). I don't expect you to play it if you do not want to. I hope I do not wake you.

Voice of an Angel, excellent orchestration, outstanding performance
Exquisite, utterly exquisite. To think that this woman memorised the lyrics of a Welsh song and sang it so beautifully is incredible. I can never hear it without crying. Commenter puffin51 put it beautifully, except that watching this absolutely gives me hope for humanity.
Such a sweet song
This song, and the movie Empire of the Sun, changed me somehow.
I know the feeling, since I heard it as a child I have never forgotten the moment of amazement seeing a boy singing so beautifully!
Me too!
Tory C Anderson ... I feel the same way
@@markwhite5926 same here
Me as well. Always makes me tear up❤️
Wow , what a performance ... by everyone... exceptional...!!
Beautiful.
Absolutely gorgeous
My Country's lullaby...Simply beautiful...Diolch cariad....
When I first heard this song, I didn't know it was Welsh. I thought it was a Japanese lullaby of death. When the English boy Jim sang this song to the young Japanese Kamikaze fighter pilots about to go up in the sky to die (The movie "Empire of the Sun") they didn't understand the words, but I believe they understood the song. The tragedy of war and so many wasted lives surpasses race, countries, and boundaries.
I'm a Welshman, here's the English translation.
To my lullaby surrender,
Warm and tender is my breast;
Mother's arms with love caressing
Lay their blessing on your rest;
Nothing shall tonight alarm you,
None shall harm you, have no fear;
Lie contented, calmly slumber
On your mother's breast my dear.
Here tonight I tightly hold you
And enfold you while you sleep,
Why I wonder, are you smiling
Smiling in your slumber deep?
Are the angels on you smiling
And beguiling you with charm,
While you also smile, my blossom,
In my bosom soft and warm?
Have no fear now, leaves are knocking,
Gently knocking at our door;
Have no fear now, waves are beating,
Gently beating on the shore.
Sleep, my darling, none shall harm you
Nor alarm you, never
And beguiling those on high.
I made the same mistake thinking it was a Japanese song ..
I later learned the true meaning and source of this song .
The film Empire of the Sun was a very moving film and the screen where young Jim sees off the Japanese camakosi pilots is very moving - War is horrible - truelly horrible ,
@@j.mahoney1178 👌👍
I made a similar assumption and was surprised to learn it was a Welsh lullaby. The melody is so beautiful. A world without such music would a sad barren place.
@@peterpauldonoghue7024 Agreed. That is such a powerful, emotional scene. It pierced my heart seeing those young pilots so eagerly accept their last mission, knowing they won't return. I read about some of those pilots, and that, before setting off on such missions, wrote goodbye letters to their families. So sad.
An Exquisite voice............................wonderful
so beautiful song
AMAZINGLY beautiful , a Welsh lullaby x
this is the most beautiful song i know and it brings me to tears everytime, With or without empire of the sun which is my favorite movie.
Profoundly moving - Always brings me to tears when I hear it.
Another absolutely breathtaking performance of this song. Makes me more emotional than any other sound in the world.
So beautiful...her voice, the orchestra and the choir...just touches the soul.
I'm Welsh and have lived and worked in Prague for a few years. I worked with some wonderful people from Slovenia. I'm so proud our countries are united in this lovely recording.
Well, we live in Slovenia not Slovakia.
You should visit Slovenia. You would be stunned by our alpine country and its beauty. Slovenia is not Slovakia. ;)
@@ksenijamirtic1369 Please accept my apologies. I have made a correction (and btw did work with wonderful people from Slovenia)
@@zevnikov Please accept my apologies and see my earlier reply. Thank you for this recording. I look forward to visiting Slovenia. Btw Wales is pretty nice too!
xo
A timeless piece of Welsh music.
every time I listen to this song, it reminds me what a wonderful decade the 80s was - movies, music, and people got along regardless of race or party affiliation
I think that is quite possibly the most beautiful thing I've ever heard - I am melting into a puddle of tears.
Exquisitely beautiful performance, and very moving. 🎶 Ms. Ernestina Jošt has a very beautiful voice! 🎶 As relating to a mother's warm gentle love, the loveliest of melodies and tenderest of songs!
The orchestra is amazing and the soloist is stunning. Such a beautiful voice! I hope to hear a lot more of her as her career advances.
A true lady a angel that flew in
What could be more beautiful? A heartfelt lullaby from a people renowned for their singing ability!! This brought me to tears. 👍
I have been around for longer than I care to admit. In my lifetime I have only heard two voices that can bring a tear to my eye. One is Jo Stafford. The other is Ernestina Jost
You are Exactly correct, Gregory. 💖
Bravoó´´´´´ Sloveni. Ernestina&Chorus&Orchestra&Director abssoluta Fantasia. Je to nádherné priam nebeská hudba. Vďaka.
Outstanding performance from this Lady and Orchestra...pure "Magic"
Neste mundo de loucuras sem conta, ainda resta algo de elevado e belo.
I am a proud Welshman this song is so very beautiful, and she sings it beautifully has well, If there is anything in the Welsh soul it is music and our love of singing listen to the National anthem at the millennium stadium on international rugby day it is a wonderful thing to experience in person.
Her voice is really cosmic and have comforting, healing power. Her children would be so blessed to. have her sing lullabies for them.
Nothing more beautiful than a traditional lady.😢😢
Best! its beutiful sound in our days
Absolutely captivating!
Truly beautiful lady and song 💙
She's cracked the Welsh pronunciation. Great performance.
A beautiful singer singing a beautiful song from a beautiful film! 💙
