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


Spi, moj angel, pochivaj,
jasnykh glaz ne otkryvaj.
Baju, bajushki-baju,
baju, bajushki-baju.

Ne spish', a vremja uletit,
i grozno tuchi soberutsja,
i strasti prosnutsja,
i burja zhizni zakipit,
i strasti bujnyje prosnutsja,
i burja zhizni zakipit,
i burja zhizni zakipit.
Spasi i sokhrani
jego ot buri, vsemogushchy!

Rassej zemnykh volnenyj tuchi,
i tikhim schast'jem oseni.
Baju, bajushki-baju,
baju, bajushki-baju.

Spi, moj angel, pochivaj,
jasnykh glaz ne otkryvaj.
Baju, bajushki-baju,
baju, bajushki-baju.

Chu! Na poroge slyshen shum...
Vragi prishli, stuchatsja v dveri...
Stradan'ja i poteri,
roj strashnykh grjoz i gorkikh dum,
stradan'ja, zhertvy i poteri,
roj strashnykh grjoz i gorkikh dum.  
Spasi i sokhrani
jego ot buri, vsemogushchij!

Rassej zemnykh volnenyj tuchi,
i tikhim schast'jem oseni.
Baju, bajushki-baju,
baju, bajushki-baju.
