搖
搖，捷克民歌，耶穌聖誕歌，搖籃曲。一九二〇年以捷克聖誕歌名義刊載[1]。一九二八年英國聖公會翻譯為英文[2]。一九六〇年代歌手翻唱先再興起。
歌詞分兩段，講到馬槽中耶穌聖嬰，好似後世咁瞓喺搖籃，咁當然，無史實根據，亦無神學根據，只有少少跟基督教聖經[3]。詞中意思大概話細個耶穌瞓得好，唔好搞醒。有件皮褸保暖，搖下搖下咁。搖籃意味，就類似平安夜同馬槽歌[4]。
名[編輯]
捷克名Hajej, nynej。英文叫The Rocking Carol[5]，又叫Little Jesus, Sweetly Sleep[6]，後美國又叫Rocking[7]。香港教育司署小學生歌集，則名為搖。

Little Jesus, sweetly sleep, do not stir;
we will lend you a coat of fur,
we will rock you, rock you, rock you;
we will rock you, rock you, rock you;
see the fur to keep you warm,
snugly round your tiny form.
Mary's little baby, sleep, sweetly sleep,
Sleep in comfort, slumber deep;
we will rock you, rock you, rock you,
we will rock you, rock you, rock you;
we will serve you all we can,
Darling, darling little man
