Am Dm Am
Sleep now, mam’s little one, the pampas grass is still,
Dm Am E7
the tea house rests in silence now, beside the Andes hill.
Am Dm Am
Sleep now, little one, the chapel bell is near,
Dm Am E7
tomorrow’s sun will rise for you, and chase away all fear.

What “Patagonia Lullaby (Welsh)” Means

“Mam” means mother in Welsh. In 1865, Welsh settlers founded Y Wladfa in Chubut Province, Patagonia, where their descendants still speak Welsh and gather in traditional tea houses generations later. This original lullaby draws on those pampas and tea-house images of Welsh Patagonian life, with “mam” used as a warm address rather than a literal translation.
