Verse

Am Dm Am
Sleep now, mathi’s little one, the fishing nets are still,
Dm Am E7
the woven cloth rests folded now, beside the coastal hill.
Am Dm Am
Sleep now, little one, the harbor lights are near,
Dm Am E7
tomorrow’s sun will rise for you, and chase away all fear.

What “Baluchi Emirati Lullaby” Means

“Mathi” is a warm Balochi word for mother, spoken by the Baluchi community of the UAE’s coast and interior, who brought seafaring and textile skills from the Balochistan region. This original lullaby draws on those coastal and craft images of Baluchi Emirati life, with “mathi” used as a warm address rather than a literal translation.
