Savai’i Lullaby Lyrics. An original lullaby inspired by Savai’i, Samoa’s largest and most traditional island, shaped by ancient lava fields and coconut groves. The lava fields at Saleaula still bear the marks of an eruption that swept through between 1905 and 1911, swallowing entire villages, and today visitors can see the roofless ruins of a village church left standing amid the hardened black rock. Here you will find the lyrics, meaning, and chords.
