South Greenland Lullaby Lyrics. An original lullaby inspired by South Greenland, home to sheep farms and fjord-side settlements descended from centuries of Norse and Inuit heritage. South Greenland is where the Norse explorer Erik the Red first settled over a thousand years ago, and its relatively milder climate still makes it the only part of Greenland where sheep farming and small-scale agriculture are possible today. Here you will find the lyrics, meaning, and chords.
