Asturias Lullaby Lyrics. An original lullaby inspired by Asturias, Spain’s green, Celtic-influenced northern coast, known for its cider orchards and mountain peaks. Asturian cider is traditionally poured from high above the glass, a technique called escanciar, meant to aerate the drink and bring out its flavor, and the region’s Celtic roots live on in the gaita, a bagpipe still played at local festivals. Here you will find the lyrics, meaning, and chords.

Am Dm Am
Sleep now, little one, the cider press is still,
Dm Am E7
the apple orchard rests tonight, upon the mountain hill.
Am Dm Am
Sleep now, little one, the coastal cliff is near,
Dm Am E7
tomorrow’s sun will rise for you, and chase away all fear.
