La Rose Lullaby Lyrics. An original lullaby inspired by La Rose, one of Saint Lucia’s two flower festival societies, celebrated each August. La Rose has a friendly rival, La Marguerite, the daisy society, and each year both groups hold elaborate processions with flower crowns and mock royal courts — a centuries-old tradition of music, poetry, and gentle competition. Here you will find the lyrics, meaning, and chords.

What “La Rose Lullaby” Means
“Manman” means mother in Saint Lucian Kweyol. La Rose, one of the island’s two flower festival societies, celebrates each August with music, feasting, and elaborate rose-themed costumes. This original lullaby draws on those flower-festival and village-square images of La Rose life, with “manman” used as a warm address rather than a literal translation.
