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


Spi, maljutka moj prekrasnyj, baju, bajushki-baju,
Spi, pokojsja, za toboju ja bez ustali smotrju.
Sonmy zvjozd s vysot nebesnykh v kolybel' gljadjat tvoju,
Spi, rodnoj moj, spi, prelestnyj, baju, bajushki-baju.

Spi, poka zabot ne znajesh', baju, bajushki-baju,
Spi, poka ne dobyvajesh' khleb nasushchnyj na sem'ju!
Spi, poka tebja laskaju, usypljaju i poju,
Kolybel' tvoju kachaju, baju, bajushki-baju.
