What “Sleep Nah, Me Lickle One” Means
Guyana is the only English-speaking country in South America, and its Kaieteur Falls is one of the world’s most powerful single-drop waterfalls, hidden deep in untouched rainforest. This original lullaby, in Guyanese Creolese, borrows both, the thundering falls and the surrounding forest hush.
