Uzbek Lullaby Lyrics. An original lullaby inspired by the Uzbek people, heirs to the ancient Silk Road cities of Samarkand and Bukhara. Samarkand’s Registan square, a breathtaking ensemble of three ornately tiled madrasas, remains one of Central Asia’s most iconic sights, and the city was also the capital of the great conqueror Timur, known in the West as Tamerlane, whose turquoise-domed mausoleum, the Gur-e-Amir, still stands in Samarkand today as a lasting monument to his vast 14th-century empire. Here you will find the lyrics, meaning, and chords.

Sleep now, little one, the blue-tiled dome shines bright,
Dm Am E7
the desert caravan has settled now, beneath the starry light.
Am Dm Am
Sleep now, little one, the almond trees stand near,
Dm Am E7
tomorrow’s sun will rise for you, and chase away all fear.
