Sleep now, little one, the desert sand is still,
Dm Am E7
the camel bell has quieted now, beneath the fortress hill.
Am Dm Am
Sleep now, little one, the painted turban’s near,
Dm Am E7
tomorrow’s sun will rise for you, and chase away all fear.

What “Rajasthan Lullaby” Means
Rajasthan is India’s desert state, its Thar Desert dunes crossed by camel caravans and watched over by centuries-old hilltop forts, its people known for their vividly colored turbans. This original lullaby draws on those desert-sand and hilltop-fort images of Rajasthani heritage.
