Westfjords Lullaby Lyrics. An original lullaby inspired by Iceland’s remote Westfjords, a peninsula of dramatic fjords and small fishing villages. The Westfjords are Iceland’s most remote and sparsely populated region, home to Dynjandi, a spectacular series of cascading waterfalls, and to a long tradition of folklore about hidden people and sorcery, still remembered today at the region’s small Museum of Icelandic Sorcery and Witchcraft in Holmavik. Here you will find the lyrics, meaning, and chords.
