Sharchop Lullaby Lyrics. An original lullaby inspired by the Sharchop people, Bhutan’s largest ethnic group, living among the steep valleys of the eastern Himalayas. The Sharchop are believed by some scholars to be among Bhutan’s oldest inhabitants, predating the Buddhist migrations from Tibet that shaped much of the country’s later history, and their own language, Sharchopkha, remains distinct from Dzongkha, Bhutan’s national language, kept alive in a region of eastern Bhutan that stayed relatively remote and hard to reach by road until recent decades. Here you will find the lyrics, meaning, and chords.
