Tanna Lullaby Lyrics. An original lullaby inspired by Tanna Island, home to Mount Yasur, one of the world’s most accessible active volcanoes. Mount Yasur glows visibly at night and can be approached close enough to feel its rumble underfoot, and Tanna is also home to the John Frum movement, a unique local tradition that grew up around the island in the twentieth century. Here you will find the lyrics, meaning, and chords.
