Kashubian Lullaby Lyrics. An original lullaby inspired by the Kashubian people of Poland’s Baltic coast, known for their own West Slavic language, colorful folk embroidery, and the lake-dotted region called Kashubian Switzerland. Kashubian gained official status as a regional language in Poland in 2005, a rare distinction for a minority tongue in the country, and the hilly, lake-dotted landscape locals call Kashubian Switzerland earned its nickname for looking, at least to some early visitors, remarkably like the real thing. Here you will find the lyrics, meaning, and chords.

Verse

Am Dm Am
Sleep now, little one, the Baltic waves are still,
Dm Am E7
the fishing boats are resting now, beside the harbor sill.
Am Dm Am
Sleep now, little one, the lakeland woods are calm,
Dm Am E7
tomorrow’s sun will rise for you, and bring the morning balm.
