Limburgish Lullaby Lyrics. An original lullaby inspired by the Dutch province of Limburg, known for its unusually hilly landscape and its especially lively carnival tradition. Limburg is home to the Vaalserberg, the highest point in the mainland Netherlands, an unusual claim to fame in a country famous for being flat, and Limburgish itself has been officially recognized as a regional language, distinct enough from standard Dutch that it carries its own protected status today. Here you will find the lyrics, meaning, and chords.
