Temburong Lullaby Lyrics. An original lullaby inspired by Temburong, Brunei’s remote rainforest district, covered in dense jungle and traditional longhouses. Temburong is physically cut off from the rest of Brunei by a strip of Malaysian territory, reachable only by boat or a roundabout land route, and within it, Ulu Temburong National Park is famous for its aerial canopy walkway suspended high above the rainforest, giving visitors a rare bird’s-eye view of the jungle below. Here you will find the lyrics, meaning, and chords.

Am Dm Am
Sleep now, little one, the rainforest canopy’s still,
Dm Am E7
the longhouse rests among the trees, upon the jungle hill.
Am Dm Am
Sleep now, little one, the waterfall is near,
Dm Am E7
tomorrow’s sun will rise for you, and chase away all fear.
