Na son grjadushchij

ENG
Nochnaja t'ma bezmolvije prinosit
I k otdykhu zovjot menja.
Pora, pora! pokoja telo prosit,
Dusha ustala v vikhre dnja.
Molju tebja, pred snom grjadushchim, bozhe:
Daj ljudjam mir; blagoslovi
Mladenca son, i nishchenskoje lozhe,
I sljozy tikhije ljubvi!
Prosti grekhu, na zhgucheje stradan'je
Uspokojitel'no dokhni,
I vse tvoji pechal'nyje sozdan'ja
Khot' snoviden'jem obmani!

At bedtime
Language:
English
Nocturnal dark brings the silence
Now calling me to rest.
It's time, it's time! my body begs for peace,
my soul worn out in whirls of day.
I pray Thee at bedtime, my Lord:
Give peace to man, and baby's sleep;
Keep and bless even the lowest crib,
And quiet tears of love!
Forgive our sins, and blow a kiss
To soothe burning pain,
And all your saddened creatures
Delude now with dreams again!
