I'm fond of a song titled: "Josè embala o menino" ("Joseph Rocks the Baby"). I've heard it performed both by the Portuguese singer: Maria Ana Bobone as well as by the late Spanish vocalist Montserrat Figueras. And I love both versions. (They're both on YouTube, by the way.) And then, speaking of Montserrat Figueras ... she recorded an audio CD of lullabies from a number of countries, covering the period from 1500 to 2002, titled: "Ninna Nanna". Her performance of "Josè embala o menino" is on that CD. It's a favorite. Those probably aren't the sorts of things you had in mind. But they're favorites of mine.

P.S. These aren't nursery rhymes / songs, but if you happen to listen to "Ninna Nanna" & find it to be of interest, there's another audio CD Montserrat Figueras recorded titled "Lux Feminae" ("The Light of Women") that is wonderful too. It's also on YouTube.
Thanks for this!
