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


 Baju, baju, mil vnuchjonochek,
 Ty spi, usni, usni, krest'janskij syn.
 Baju, baju, doprezh dedy ne vidali bedy,
 beda prishla, da bedu privela s napastjami,
 da s propastjami, s pravezhami,
 beda vsjo s pobojami!
 Baju, baju, mil vnuchjonochek, ty syn, usni,
 usni, krest'janskij syn.
 Izzhivem bedu za rabotushkoj,
 za nemiloj, chuzhoj, nepokladnoju, vekovechnoju,
 zloju, stradnoju, zloju, stradnoju.
 Baju, baju, spi, usni pokol' izzhivem bedu,
 izzhivem bedu, gore minetsja
 pokol' Bog prostit, car' sramitsja.

 Baju, baju, baju! Belym tel'cem lezhish' v ljulechke,
 tvoja dushen'ka v nebesakh letit,
 tvoj tikhij son sam Gospod' khranit.
 Po bokam stojat svetly angely,
 stojat angely!
