Cham Lullaby Lyrics. An original lullaby inspired by the Cham people of Cambodia, a Muslim minority with roots in the ancient kingdom of Champa, living along the Mekong River. The kingdom of Champa once dominated much of what is now central and southern Vietnam for centuries, shaped early on by Hindu influence before many Cham later adopted Islam, and towering brick temple complexes built by Champa’s rulers still stand along the Vietnamese coast today, a lasting trace of a once-powerful maritime kingdom. Here you will find the lyrics, meaning, and chords.
