Tajik-Uzbekistani Lullaby Lyrics. An original lullaby inspired by the Persian-speaking Tajik communities of Uzbekistan, especially in the historic cities of Samarkand and Bukhara. Samarkand and Bukhara have been centers of Persian-speaking culture for over a thousand years, though Soviet-era border drawing in the 1920s placed both historic cities within Uzbekistan rather than Tajikistan, leaving many Tajik-speaking residents on the Uzbek side of a modern border that split a shared cultural region in two. Here you will find the lyrics, meaning, and chords.
