What to tell us for a mermaid lullaby

A handful of details turn a simple song into a personal tide.

  1. Their favourite sea thing

    Bath time, the open ocean, seashells, or a favorite fish friend: let us know what makes their eyes sparkle.

  2. Proud possessions

    A swimming badge, a pearl necklace, or any treasure they keep close while they drift.

  3. How they imagine being a mermaid

    Do they talk to dolphins, love the sound of waves, or dream of seaweed curtains? Small quirks become verses.

  4. Voice preference

    Soft female, calm male, or a gentle choir: pick the tone that matches your bedtime routine.

A worked example

Meet Orla, our example little mermaid

Orla is invented, but you'll recognise a child who loves the sea. This is the kind of thing parents tell us, and the lullaby it becomes. Yours would be built from your own little one.

Orla

Four. Believes she's a mermaid, loves bath time, proud of her swimming badge.

  • Calls herself a mermaid
  • Bath time is her favourite
  • Swims with a proud badge
  • Wants the sea to rock her to sleep

What her mum told us

Orla is four and is 'actually a mermaid'. Bath time is her favourite, the sea is her favourite, her swimming badge is her proudest thing. She'd love a lullaby about the sea rocking her to sleep and the fish turning their lights out.

The sort of thing a mum might send us

Read the lyrics: The Sea Sings, OrlaLullaby · Soft female voice · Mermaid

Verse 1

Orla, Orla, little mermaid true,the sea is turning gold and soft and blue,the waves are rocking slow beneath the moon,they hum a sleepy, swimming little tune.

Refrain

Hush now, Orla, let the sea rock you,soft and slow, the way the mermaids do,the fish turn out their little lights below,sleepy little Orla, drift and float and go.

Verse 2

Your badge is shining on your bedroom wall,the bravest little swimmer of them all,the bath is warm, the water's calm and still,the tide is tucking in each windowsill.

Refrain

Hush now, Orla, let the sea rock you,soft and slow, the way the mermaids do,the fish turn out their little lights below,sleepy little Orla, drift and float and go.

Bridge

The starfish curl, the seahorse yawns and sleeps,the moon shines down upon the sleepy deep,the shells are humming lullabies so slow,close your eyes now, little Orla, let it go.

Refrain

Hush now, Orla, let the sea rock you,soft and slow, the way the mermaids do,the fish turn out their little lights below,sleepy little Orla, drift and float and go.

Outro

Sleep now, Orla, underneath the deep,the whole blue sea is singing you to sleep,hush now, hush now, gentle tide and tow,sleepy little mermaid, drift and float and go.

Orla's lullaby came from her love of bath time, her swimming badge and the sea she imagines. Yours will be built from whatever your child loves most.

What tonight could be

The moment the tide tucks in

Somewhere in the second verse, the fish dim their lights.

The recognition

Their name, sung in a sea-soft voice, makes eyes widen then droop.

The settling

Fish lights fade, the waves hush, and little Orla follows the calm.

The repeat

Night after night the sea returns, a familiar lullaby they ask for.
