Flemish Lullaby
Flemish Lullaby Lyrics. An original lullaby inspired by the Flemish region of Belgium, known for its canal-lined medieval cities and centuries-old bobbin-lace-making tradition. Flemish bobbin lace was once so prized across Europe that entire guilds formed around it, and a single intricate piece could take a lace-maker months of painstaking work, one thread carefully crossed over another by hand. Here you will find the lyrics, meaning, and chords.
