Polish-Lithuanian Lullaby Lyrics. An original lullaby inspired by the Polish community of the Vilnius region, who have kept their language and traditions alive for centuries. Vilnius and its surrounding region changed hands many times over the centuries, from the old Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth through Russian, interwar, and Soviet rule, and the Polish community that has remained still gathers each March for Kaziuko muge, a lively traditional craft fair held in the old town. Here you will find the lyrics, meaning, and chords.

What “Polish-Lithuanian Lullaby” Means
The Polish community of the Vilnius region has kept its language and traditions alive for centuries in Lithuania’s historic capital, among its cobbled old-town streets and church squares. This original lullaby draws on those old-town and church-square images of Polish-Lithuanian life.
