Sweet Lullaby

"Sweet Lullaby" is a song by French musical group Deep Forest that originally appeared on their eponymous album (1992).

It was also used by German television broadcaster RTL as the closing theme to their coverage of UEFA Champions League football during the 1994–1995 season.

[4] The lullaby, sung in the Baegu language and called Rorogwela, is the song of a young man who asks his younger brother to stop crying and explains that the love of his deceased parents is taking care of them.

"[8] Another reviewer, Keith Zimmerman, constated that "with its Pygmy chant samplings, [it] churns out a soulful World Beat groove that's plenty catchy enough to create a mass appeal hit.

"[9] Chuck Campbell from Knoxville News Sentinel complimented it as a "gorgeous track", "which combines an angelic lead vocal with a sweeping chorus".

"[11] David Stubbs from Melody Maker named it the best track of the album, writing, "Driven by a rich, languid shuffle, it features a beautiful, lilting, ethnic chorus that's as refreshing as the burgeoning smell of wet leaves in the first rain after the drought.

"[16] James Hunter from Vibe deemed it "an eager pop confection of continental synths and excellent singing from "the rain forest pygmies of Africa".

He added, "Her pinched, plaintive voice is set off by wooden flutelike synth sounds, a programmed drum track, Pygmies chanting in the Central African Baka dialect, and additional vocals.
