South Jutland Lullaby Lyrics. An original lullaby inspired by South Jutland, Denmark’s borderland with Germany, known for its half-timbered farmhouses. South Jutland changed hands between Denmark and Germany more than once, most recently reunited with Denmark after a 1920 referendum, and the region still carries that layered history today, home to both a German-speaking minority and its own distinct dialect, Sonderjysk, spoken nowhere quite like it is here. Here you will find the lyrics, meaning, and chords.
