Kolybel'naja pesnja (Maykov, set by P. Tchaikovsky) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Spi, ditja mojo, spi, usni! spi, usni!
Sladkij son k sebe mani:
V njan'ki ja tebe vzjala
Veter, solnce i orla.

Uletel orjol domoj:
Solnce skrylos' pod vodoj:
Veter, posle trekh nochej,
Mchitsja k materi svojej.

Sprashivala vetra mat':
,,Gde izvolil propadat'?
Ali zvezdy vojeval?
Ali volny vsjo gonjal?``

,,Ne gonjal ja voln morskikh,
Zvezd ne trogal zolotykh;
Ja ditja oberegal,
Kolybelochku kachal!``

Spi, ditja mojo, spi, usni! spi, usni!
Sladkij son k sebe mani:
V njan'ki ja tebe vzjala
Veter, solnce i orla.
