Sara Lullaby Lyrics. An original lullaby inspired by the Sara people of southern Chad, the country’s largest ethnic group, living along the Chari and Logone rivers. The Chari and Logone rivers meet right at N’Djamena, Chad’s capital, and Sara farming communities along their banks have long relied on the rivers’ seasonal floods to enrich the soil for planting, a rhythm of flood and harvest that has shaped daily life here for generations. Here you will find the lyrics, meaning, and chords.
