The Lullaby is the english translation of the Scottish Gaelic song Noble Maiden Fair (a mhaighdean bhan uasal) by Emma Thompson and Peigi Barker. It is the property of it's owners.
I use it here because it reminds me of home.
Take 7 - Of Lullabies
She's sitting on her mother's lap, Ursa is combing her hair, and whispering a lullaby into her ears.
Little baby, hear my voice
I'm beside you, O maiden fair
Our young Lady, grow and see
Your land, your own faithful land
Sun and moon, guide us
To the hour of our glory and honor
Little baby, our young lady
Noble Maiden Fair.
She joins in for the last verse, her lilting voice drifting and mingling with her mother's like the mist skirting smoky waters on a bitter morning.
When they finish, she's giggling and her mother is smiling, Azula can hear her mother's slightly scratchy voice by her ear as Ursa pulls her hair into a topknot for the first time.
I will ALWAYS be with you, my little Fire Lilly.
And Azula smiles like there is no tomorrow, her gold eyes twinkling with happiness.
She hugs her mother and swears to never ever let go.
...
And then Ursa had left.
But Azula still wears the same topknot.
Azula was 2 years old
