«Akh уймись ты, буря!
Не шумите, ели!
Мой малютка дремлет
Сладко в колыбели!

Ты, гроза Господня,
Не буди ребёнка!
Пронеситесь, тучи
Черные, сторонкой.»

Бурь ещё не мало
Впереди, быть-может,
И не раз забота
Сон его встревожит.

Спи, дитя, спокойно!
Вот гроза стихает,
Матери молитва
Сон твой охраняет.

Завтра, как проснёшься
И откроешь глазки,
Снова встретишь солнце,
И любовь, и ласки.

Berceuse dans la tempête
 (Sung text translation for setting by P. Tchaikovsky)
 See original
Language: French (Français)  after the Russian (Русский) 
 ... 

« Ah, calme-toi, tempête !
Ne faites pas de bruit, sapins !
Mon bébé dort
Doucement dans le berceau !

Toi, Maîtresse tempête,
Ne réveille pas le bébé !
Passez, nuages
Noirs, au loin.

Tempête, plus maintenant, un peu
Plus tard, peut-être,
Et en faisant attention à ne pas
Troubler son sommeil.

Dors en paix, mon enfant !
La tempête diminue,
La prière de ta mère
Protège tes rêves.

Demain, quand tu te réveilleras
Et ouvriras tes yeux,
Tu rencontreras à nouveau le soleil,
Et l'amour et les caresses. »
