Human Planet ep01 Oceans - Into the Blue - Galicia's Percebeiros

The Mum's song

Listen to this mum saying in two minutes and fifty-five seconds all what a child has to hear in 24 hours. Pay attention, all the mums in the world say the same things. It is amazing! If you are a child I am sure you have heard some of this today, if you are an adult you will miss your lovely mum.

The same song but by a different singer. Which one do you prefer?
