Soleram

Soleram or Suliram[3] (also known as Soreram, or Suriram[4]) is a folk song from Riau, Indonesia.

[4] This song is melodious and sung in a gentle rhythm, with lyrics that are relatively short and easy to remember.

The song, thought to be a lullaby of the Riau people, may contain messages that parents want to convey to their children at bedtime, such as words of endearment, being modest and holding on to old friends.

In Malaysia, it is a popular lullaby spelt Suriram, and the country also lays claim to the song.
