Am Dm Am
Sleep now, little one, the horses rest tonight,
Dm Am E7
the diamond patterns on the rug still glow by fading light.
Am Dm Am
Sleep now, little one, the coastal wind is near,
Dm Am E7
tomorrow’s sun will rise for you, and chase away all fear.

What “Yomut Lullaby” Means
The Yomut tribe of Turkmenistan, historically settled between the eastern shores of the Caspian Sea and the Gorgan area, is known for horse breeding and for carpets with geometric diamond patterns in earthy tones, distinct from the bolder Teke style. This original lullaby draws on those coastal and horse-culture images of Yomut life.
