Galician Lullaby Lyrics. An original lullaby inspired by Galicia, Spain’s misty, Celtic-influenced northwestern corner, known for its bagpipe music and Atlantic coast. Galicia’s own bagpipe, the gaita, gives its folk music a sound many visitors find surprisingly close to Irish or Scottish tunes, and the region is also the final stop of the Camino de Santiago, a centuries-old pilgrimage route that still draws walkers from across the world today. Here you will find the lyrics, meaning, and chords.
