Sov, min lilla, vackra gosse, 
Bajoskjki bajo.
Klara månen går på himlen, 
smeker dig till ro.

Snart till sagans land du hinner 
över drömmens bro. 
Slut ditt öga, dröm så ljuvligt, 
Bajosjki bajo. 

Terek emot branta stranden 
vreda böljor slår. 
Lömsk tjerkess med dolk 
i handen lurar i sitt snår, 

Men din far, så stark och modig, 
värnar om vårt bo, 
Skyddar oss. Sov lugnt, min älskling, 
Bajosjki bajo.

Composition:

    Set to music by Hugo Alfvén (1872 - 1960), "Kosack-vaggvisa", Rudén no. 153 (1938) [ chorus a cappella ], arrangement of a folk melody
