Slumber Song

Slumber Song
Spi, maljutka moj prekrasnyj,
Bajushki-baju, bajushki-baju.
Tikho smotrit mesjac jasnyj
V kolybel' tvoju.
Stanu skazyvat' ja skazki,
Pesenku spoju;
Ty zh dremli, zakryvshi glazki,
Bajushki-baju, baju, baju.

Cradle song of a Cossack mother
Slumber sweet, my fairest baby,
Slumber calmly, sleep--
Peaceful moonbeams light thy chamber,
In thy cradle creep;
I will tell to thee a story,
Pure as dewdrop glow,
Close those two beloved eyelids--
Lullaby, By-low!
