Druze Lullaby (Lebanon) Lyrics. An original lullaby inspired by the Druze community of Lebanon’s Chouf mountains, a region of terraced hills and historic villages. The Druze faith is a closed religion that neither seeks converts nor permits anyone to join from outside, and Chouf hospitality remains legendary, with many villages still keeping a madafa, a dedicated guesthouse where travelers and guests are welcomed and looked after as a point of communal pride. Here you will find the lyrics, meaning, and chords.

Verse

Am Dm Am
Sleep now, little one, the Chouf hills rest tonight,
Dm Am E7
the pine trees sway above the vale, beneath the fading light.
Am Dm Am
Sleep now, little one, the mountain spring runs clear,
Dm Am E7
tomorrow’s sun will rise for you, and chase away all fear.
