Guaraní Lullaby Lyrics. An original lullaby inspired by the Guaraní people of northern Argentina, whose culture is rooted in the subtropical rainforest along the border with Paraguay and Brazil. Long before national borders divided the region, Guarani communities moved freely across what is now Argentina, Paraguay, and Brazil, and the spectacular Iguazu Falls sit right within this shared homeland. Argentina’s Misiones province itself takes its name from the Jesuit missions established among the Guarani in the 17th and 18th centuries, whose ruins still stand as a reminder of that complicated history. Here you will find the lyrics, meaning, and chords.
