Hejazi Lullaby Lyrics. An original lullaby inspired by the Hejazi people of western Saudi Arabia, the historic Red Sea coast region home to Mecca, Medina, and the port city of Jeddah. For well over a thousand years, the Hejaz has been shaped by its role hosting the Hajj, drawing pilgrims and traders from across the Islamic world, and Jeddah’s historic old town, Al-Balad, with its distinctive tall coral-stone buildings, was added to the UNESCO World Heritage list in 2014 in recognition of that long, layered history. Here you will find the lyrics, meaning, and chords.
