Canarias Lullaby Lyrics. An original lullaby inspired by the Canary Islands, Spain’s volcanic Atlantic archipelago off the coast of Africa. The islands are home to Mount Teide, Spain’s highest peak, and on La Gomera, islanders still use Silbo Gomero, a whistled language recognized by UNESCO, once used to send messages echoing across the island’s deep ravines. Here you will find the lyrics, meaning, and chords.
