Lyrics
Personalize this songWhere the name comes from
Sze-wing (詩詠) pairs 詩 (sze), meaning 'poem' or 'poetry,' with 詠 (wing), meaning 'to sing' or 'to recite' - together often read as something like 'singing poetry,' fitting for a name with a lyrical, musical association.
Why this moment matters
A hand-fanned breeze, slow and steady, is one of the oldest lullaby techniques there is, older than any song.
The story behind this song
Grandma waves the old palm-leaf fan slowly back and forth until the warm evening finally cools enough for sleep.
A bedtime song with a name in it
A slow lullaby built around one child's name: a good night song for bedtime, nap time and the last song of the day.
