Torbes Lullaby Lyrics. An original lullaby inspired by the Torbes people of North Macedonia’s mountainous Reka region, known for traditional woodcarving and fresco painting. Villages in the Reka region, especially Lazaropole and Galicnik, became renowned across the Balkans for producing master woodcarvers, builders, and fresco painters, many of whom traveled widely for work, leaving their craftsmanship on churches and buildings far beyond their home valley. Here you will find the lyrics, meaning, and chords.
