South American Lullabies

South American lullabies blend Indigenous, African, and Iberian roots into something distinct — the gentle sway of a Brazilian hammock song, Andean melodies carried down from Quechua and Aymara tradition, and Spanish-language nanas sung from Venezuela to Patagonia. Below are all 36 South American lullabies published on Relax In No Time, each with lyrics, English translation, meaning, and easy guitar and piano chords.

These are traditional songs passed down through oral tradition across many distinct cultures and languages. The English lines presented on the pages below are singable adaptations, offered as a respectful tribute — not literal translations.
