Hungarian Lullaby (Vojvodina) Lyrics. An original lullaby inspired by the Hungarian community of Serbia’s Vojvodina region, known for its embroidered festival costumes and folk dance. Vojvodina is one of Europe’s most ethnically diverse regions, home to Hungarians alongside Slovaks, Romanians, Croats, and Rusyns, with many Hungarian families tracing their arrival back to Habsburg-era resettlement efforts in the 18th century following the retreat of Ottoman forces, and distinct embroidery and costume styles still mark out different corners of the region, from the Bacska to the Banat. Here you will find the lyrics, meaning, and chords.

What “Hungarian Lullaby (Vojvodina)” Means
“Kicsim” is a Hungarian term of endearment meaning roughly “my little one.” The Hungarian community of Serbia’s Vojvodina region keeps alive richly embroidered festival costumes and the csardas folk dance across the flat Pannonian plain. This original lullaby draws on those festival and Pannonian-plain images of Hungarian life in Vojvodina, with “kicsim” used as a warm address rather than a literal translation.
