Oj Maluśki Maluśki - Not Quite The Carol I Promised

Earlier this year (I think, but my disorganisation is of epic proportions) I posted about a friend who sang a very beautiful carol which his grandmother has taught him 80 years ago. I promised to post the recording I made, but can't find it.


Here is a link to a very similar carol, and I think my friend's was a variant.


It is a lullaby, sung to the Infant Jesus, and full of sadness and premonition of the Sorrows to come.

Or this version, sung by a child - perhaps the most sorrowful -

When I find my recording I shall post it.
