About The Lullaby
It is a well known English lullaby in which the tune came from a French melody “Ah! vous dirai-je, maman” in 1761. The lyrics, on the other hand, came from a 19th century poem called The Star by Jane Taylor.
The Star was published in Rhymes for the Nursery by the Jane herself, as well as her sister Ann.
The lyrics consists of five stanzas, though the well known was the first stanza. It is performed in the key of C Major.
Here are the lyrics of the song:
Known Version
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
Original Version “The Star”
TWINKLE, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
When the blazing sun is gone,
When he nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.
Then the trav’ller in the dark,
Thanks you for your tiny spark,
He could not see which way to go,
If you did not twinkle so.
In the dark blue sky you keep,
And often thro’ my curtains peep,
For you never shut your eye,
Till the sun is in the sky.
‘Tis your bright and tiny spark,
Lights the trav’ller in the dark,
Tho’ I know not what you are,
Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
