Oceania Lullabies

Oceania is a vast ocean dotted with island nations, and its lullaby traditions travel by canoe and coastline as much as by land — from Aboriginal Australian and Maori songs, to the layered harmonies of Polynesia, the close-knit island communities of Micronesia, and the Melanesian traditions of Papua New Guinea, Fiji, and the Solomon Islands. Below are all 46 lullabies from Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific Islands published on Relax In No Time, grouped by region, each with lyrics, English translation, meaning, and easy guitar and piano chords.

These are traditional songs passed down through oral tradition across many distinct cultures and languages. The English lines presented on the pages below are singable adaptations, offered as a respectful tribute — not literal translations.
