Baluchi Emirati Lullaby Lyrics. An original lullaby inspired by the Baluchi community of the UAE’s coast and interior, who brought seafaring and textile skills from the Balochistan region. Baluchi seafarers and traders crossed the Gulf of Oman for centuries, long before modern borders existed, carrying with them distinctive embroidery techniques known for intricate geometric patterns and mirror-work, still recognized and worn today, and Baluchi itself belongs to the Iranian language family, entirely unrelated to Arabic despite the community’s long presence on the Arabian coast. Here you will find the lyrics, meaning, and chords.

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.
