Azeri Lullaby Lyrics. An original lullaby inspired by Iranian Azerbaijan, home to a large Turkic-speaking Azeri population with a culture distinct from Persian-speaking Iran. Azeri culture has long carried the tradition of the ashiq, a wandering singer-poet accompanying themselves on a saz, a long-necked lute — keepers of stories and songs passed from town to town for generations. Here you will find the lyrics, meaning, and chords.
