Amazonian Lullaby Lyrics. An original lullaby inspired by Peru’s Amazon rainforest region, home to river communities whose life revolves around winding waterways and dense jungle. Iquitos, the main city of the Peruvian Amazon, is often cited as the largest city in the world that cannot be reached by road, accessible only by boat or plane, and river communities throughout the region have long built their homes on stilts or floating platforms, adapting to a landscape where the water level can rise and fall dramatically with the seasons. Here you will find the lyrics, meaning, and chords.

What “Amazonian Lullaby” Means
Peru’s Amazon rainforest region, in the country’s east, is home to river communities whose daily life revolves around winding waterways and dense jungle canopy, distinct from the Andean highlands further west. This original lullaby draws on those river and jungle images of Peruvian Amazon life.
