Tilim-bom (Volkslieder (Folksongs), set by I. Stravinsky) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Tilim-bom, tilim-bom
Zagorelsja kozij dom.
Koza vyskochila,
Glaza vypuchila,
Koza khvostikom trjasjot,
Pomogat' ljudej zovjot,
Kotik v kolokol zvonit,
Na pozhar bezhat' velit.

Tilim-bom, tilim-bom,
Vy spasajte kozij dom!
Bezhit kuritsja s vedrom,
Zalivat' kozij dom. 
A za neju petushok,
Zolotoj grebeshok,
Tashchit lesenku,
Pojot pesenku.

Tilim-bom, tilim-bom,
My potushim kozij dom.
Ljudi vyskochili,
Glaza vypuchili,
Borodoju vse trjasut,
Pomogat' koze begut,
Ljudi v kolokol zvonjat,
Za soboj bezhat' veljat.

Tilim-bom, tilim-bom,
Polivajte kozij dom.
A koza s kotikom kotom,
S kuritsej, s petukhom
Na trave sidjat rjadkom,
Pojut gromkim goloskom,
Tilim-bom, tilim-bom,
Potushili kozij dom.
