Although the title (EaEa) and her actions on stage counsel a infantile lullaby, she has little of a lullaby, as she herself qualifies: “I consider that greater than placing a toddler to sleep it may wake anybody up.”
Oh, come to me, my baby (now)
Oh, come to me, my baby
That in my chest there may be shelter
Tears of the Nile, sleepless nights
My baby, once I die
bury me within the moon
And each evening I see you
And each evening I see you
And each evening I see you
Every evening besides one
Oh, come to me, my baby (oh, my baby, my little boy)
that within the evening they illuminate me
Tears of the Nile, sleepless nights
My baby, once I die
bury me within the moon
And each evening I see you
And each evening I see you
And each evening I see you
My baby, once I die
bury me within the moon
And each evening I see you
Every evening besides one
Tears of the Nile, sleepless nights
