from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Гуркота
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Гуркота, гуркота,
А Митеньке дремота.
Спи, Митенька, спи, усни,
Угомон тебя возьми!
Баю, бай, баю, бай, бай, бай!

Как у котика-кота
Была мачеха лиха:
Она била кота
Поперек живота.

А кот с горюшки, 
Кот с кручинушки,
Кот на печку пошёл,
Горшок каши нашёл.
Баю, бай, баю, бай, бай!

Баю, бай, качи,
На улице калачи.
Баю, баю, качь,
Привезет отец калач.
Баю, бай, баю, бай, бай, бай!

Сон да дрема
Вдоль по улице прошла,
Улицей прошла,
К Митеньке зашла,
Под головку спать легла.
Баю, бай, баю, бай!

Гуркота, гуркота,
А Митеньке дремота.
Спи, Митенька, спи, усни,
Угомон тебя возьми!
Баю, бай, баю, бай, бай, бай!
