Swedish Lullabies
Traditional songs to sing your little one to sleep — with lyrics, translations, meanings and easy chords.
Sweden has one of the richest cradle-song traditions in Northern Europe. Swedish lullabies (vaggvisor) grew up in farmhouse kitchens and long winter evenings, and they carry the calm, practical warmth of that world: soft hushing syllables, small promises of food and comfort, and slow melodies that follow the rhythm of a rocking cradle. Many of them, like the beloved Vyssan Lull, have been passed from parent to child for centuries and are still sung every night across Sweden. On this page you will find our collection of traditional Swedish lullabies with the original words, an English translation, the meaning behind each song, and easy guitar and piano chords — so you can sing them to your own little one, wherever you are in the world.
