Rapa Nui Lullaby Lyrics. An original lullaby inspired by the Rapa Nui people of Easter Island, a Chilean Polynesian territory famed for its ancient moai statues. Carved from volcanic rock, the moai are said, in island legend, to have “walked” to their final resting places along the coast — a mystery historians still study today, watched over by the same statues that stand guard through the night. Here you will find the lyrics, meaning, and chords.
