Beja Lullaby Lyrics. An original lullaby inspired by the Beja people of eastern Sudan, nomadic herders of the Red Sea hills known for their distinctive dress and camel caravans. Beja men are traditionally known for their large, distinctive hairstyle, noted by travelers since ancient times, and for carrying a curved dagger at the waist — a mark of status passed down through generations of desert life. Here you will find the lyrics, meaning, and chords.
