Assam Lullaby Lyrics. An original lullaby inspired by Assam, India’s northeastern state of tea gardens and the wide Brahmaputra river. Here, mothers are called “aai,” and evenings often end the way this song describes — the tea leaves resting, the river barges falling still, and the whole valley settling into quiet. Here you will find the lyrics, meaning, and chords.
