Patagonia Lullaby (Welsh) Lyrics. An original lullaby inspired by Y Wladfa, the Welsh settlement founded in 1865 in Chubut Province, Patagonia, where descendants still speak Welsh today. The first settlers arrived aboard the ship Mimosa in 1865, choosing this remote valley specifically to build a community where Welsh language and culture could flourish free from pressures back home, and to this day, descendants still gather each year for an Eisteddfod, a traditional Welsh festival of poetry and song. Here you will find the lyrics, meaning, and chords.

What “Patagonia Lullaby (Welsh)” Means
“Mam” means mother in Welsh. In 1865, Welsh settlers founded Y Wladfa in Chubut Province, Patagonia, where their descendants still speak Welsh and gather in traditional tea houses generations later. This original lullaby draws on those pampas and tea-house images of Welsh Patagonian life, with “mam” used as a warm address rather than a literal translation.
