Coffee Hills Lullaby (Rwanda) Lyrics. An original lullaby inspired by Rwanda’s terraced hillsides, the land of a thousand hills, which produce some of Africa’s most prized coffee. Rwanda’s nickname comes from its dramatically terraced, rolling landscape, and its coffee industry has become a genuine symbol of national renewal since 1994, with fully washed, high-altitude arabica beans now prized by roasters around the world. Here you will find the lyrics, meaning, and chords.
