Górale Lullaby Lyrics. An original lullaby inspired by the Górale highlanders of Poland’s Tatra Mountains, known for sheep-herding, mountain fiddle music, and distinctive wooden architecture around Zakopane. The distinctive Zakopane architectural style, with its steep wooden roofs, was pioneered in the late 19th century by architect Stanislaw Witkiewicz, drawing directly on traditional Gorale building techniques, and Gorale folk music later inspired composer Karol Szymanowski to write his ballet Harnasie, bringing highland fiddle tunes and rhythms to the concert hall. Here you will find the lyrics, meaning, and chords.
