Courtesy of "Traditional and Folkmusic" a lullaby for you:.
Nuku nuku nurmilintu performed by Sanni Halla (Traditional Finnish Folk Lullaby)
This is a beautiful lullaby and she plays it with kantele, a traditional Finnish instrument that sounds very much like a psaltery.
Lyrics:
Nuku, nuku nurmilintu,
Väsy, väsy, västäräkki.
Nuku nurmelle hyvälle,
Vaivu maalle valkialle.
Lintu tuopi liinahapaijan,
Haapana hyvän hamehen.
Kaskeloinen korvatyynyn,
Pääskynen peäalusen.
Nuku, nuku nurmilintu,
Väsy, väsy, västäräkki.
Nuku nurmelle hyvälle,
Vaivu maalle valkialle.
English lyrics
Sleep, Sleep, Little Grassland Bird
Sleep, sleep, little grassland bird,
A tired, so tired, white wagtail.
Sleep well in the grass,
Lay down on the good earth.
The birds will bring you a linen shirt,
A wigeon will bring you a nice skirt.
A koskelo will bring you a little pillow,
The swallows will make for you a cushion.
Sleep, sleep, little grassland bird,
A tired, so tired, white wagtail.
Sleep well in the grass,
Lay down on the good earth.

Very beautiful and imaginative old song.
But SHE certainly would not help me sleep, quite the opposite, she could keep me awake all night.
Lol. Just make sure you have a good supply of vaseline handy!
