Turku Lullaby Lyrics. An original lullaby inspired by Turku, Finland’s historic former capital, set among an archipelago of thousands of islands. Turku is Finland’s oldest city, and its medieval castle, standing for more than 700 years, still guards the river mouth where it meets the sea. Just offshore lies the Archipelago Sea, one of the most complex archipelagos on Earth, scattered with tens of thousands of islands and skerries. Here you will find the lyrics, meaning, and chords.
