Enga Lullaby Lyrics. An original lullaby inspired by the Enga people of Papua New Guinea’s highlands, known for elaborate feathered headdresses worn at sing-sing festivals. The elaborate headdresses worn at a sing-sing are often adorned with the feathers of birds-of-paradise, among the most prized plumes in the highlands, and these festivals can draw together dozens of different clans, each performing their own distinct songs and dances side by side. Here you will find the lyrics, meaning, and chords.
