La Digue Lullaby Lyrics. An original lullaby inspired by La Digue, the Seychellois island where ox-carts and bicycles still outnumber cars along granite-boulder beaches. La Digue is home to Anse Source d’Argent, often ranked among the most photographed beaches in the world for its giant pink granite boulders framing calm, shallow water, and the island itself takes its name from a French naval ship that anchored here in the 18th century. Here you will find the lyrics, meaning, and chords.
