Prekmurje Lullaby Lyrics. An original lullaby inspired by Prekmurje, a flat borderland region of Slovenia near Hungary and Austria, known for its own distinct dialect and cuisine. Prekmurje belonged to Hungary for centuries and only joined Slovenia after the First World War in 1919, a history still reflected in its distinct dialect, and the region’s signature dish, prekmurska gibanica, a rich multi-layered pastry, has been EU-protected as a Traditional Speciality Guaranteed since 2010 in recognition of its unique local recipe. Here you will find the lyrics, meaning, and chords.
