Swabian Lullaby Lyrics. An original lullaby inspired by Schwaben, Germany’s southwestern region known for its half-timbered farmhouses and homemade Spatzle noodles. Swabian dialect is instantly recognizable for tacking a fond little “-le” onto the end of almost any word, and the region’s reputation for thrift and hard work runs so deep that Swabians are often affectionately teased elsewhere in Germany for being unusually careful with their money. Here you will find the lyrics, meaning, and chords.
