Bavarian Lullaby Lyrics. An original lullaby inspired by Bayern, Germany’s alpine southern state, with its cowbell-dotted pastures and mountain lakes. Every autumn, herds are led down from the high pastures in a tradition called Almabtrieb, cowbells ringing across the valley — often the last sound a Bavarian village hears before the mountains settle in for winter. Here you will find the lyrics, meaning, and chords.
