Taino Lullaby Lyrics. An original lullaby inspired by the Taino people, Puerto Rico’s original inhabitants, who left behind carved stone petroglyphs still visible today. Words the Taino once spoke still live on in everyday language — hurricane, hammock, canoe — and on quiet island nights, it’s often the tiny coquí frog, singing its own name in the dark, that keeps them company. Here you will find the lyrics, meaning, and chords.
