Vad jag älskar Evert Taubes insjungning som var länkad tidigare! Den växte jag upp med.

Men han stal de flesta av sina låtar. Vet någon varifrån denna Byssan lull kommer ifrån? Citerar här nedan de varianter som finns på engelska i kommentarerna. Kanske är sången av helt annat ursprung? Vet någon?
Sleep my lull, boil the cauldron full!
On the road three wanderers are coming
Sleep my lull, boil the cauldron full!
On the road three wanderers are coming!
The first one he is lame
The second one so blind
The third one his clothes are so ragged
Sleep my lull, boil the cauldron full!
Three stars a-wander in the heavens
Sleep my lull, boil the cauldron full!
Three stars a-wander in the heavens
The first one is so white
The second one so red
The third one’s the moon, O so yellow!
Sleep my lull, boil the cauldron full!
Three ships are sailing on the ocean
Sleep my lull, boil the cauldron full!
Three ships are sailing on the ocean
The first one is a barque
The second one a brig
The third one its sails are so ragged!
Sleep my lull, boil the cauldron full
Three figures are sat upon the seachest
Sleep my lull, boil the cauldron full
Three figures are sat upon the seachest
The first one is our faith
The second one our hope
The third one is love, O the red one!
Annan variant:
Byssan Lull, boil the full pot
so cold in the winter, they are traveling
Byssan Lull, boil the full pot
three stars shine through the forest
the first is our calm the second is our dream
in the third boat, we sit together
Byssan Lull, boil the full pot
all alone in the world you are searching
Byssan Lull, boil the full pot
I will take care of you on the trip
I hold you so close and warm you up lovingly
I promise to always come with you
Tillägger denna som min nu avlidna kompis brukade sjunga när vi var utomlands när de ville höra något svenskt. Trollmor:
