Language: Russian (Русский)
Spi, [mladenecz]1 moj prekrasny'j, Bayushki-bayu. Tixo smotrit mesyacz yasny'j V koly'bel` tvoyu. Stanu skazy'vat` ya skazki, Pesenku spoyu; Ty' zh dremli, zakry'vshi glazki, Bayushki-bayu. Po kamnyam struitsya Terek, Pleshhet mutny'j val; Zloj chechen polzyot na bereg, Tochit svoj kinzhal; No otecz tvoj stary'j voin, Zakalyon v boyu: Spi, malyutka, bud` spokoen, Bayushki-bayu. Sam uznaesh`, budet vremya, Brannoe zhit`yo; Smelo vdenesh` nogu v stremya I voz`mesh` ruzh`yo. YA sedel`ce boevoe Shyolkom razosh`yu... Spi, ditya moyo rodnoe, Bayushki-bayu. Bogaty'r` ty' budesh` s vidu I kazak dushoj. Provozhat` tebya ya vy'jdu, -- Ty' maxnyosh` rukoj... Skol`ko gor`kix slyoz ukradkoj, YA v tu noch` prol`yu... Spi, moj angel, tixo, sladko, Bayushki-bayu. Stanu ya toskoj tomit`sya, Bezuteshno zhdat`; Stanu cely'j den` molit`sya, Po nocham gadat`; Stanu dumat`, chto skuchaesh` Ty' v chuzhom krayu... Spi zh, poka zabot ne znaesh`, Bayushki-bayu. Dam tebe ya na dorogu Obrazok svyatoj: Ty' ego, molyasya bogu, Stav` pered soboj; Da gotovyas` v boj opasny'j, Pomni mat` svoyu... Spi, mladenecz moj prekrasny'j, Bayushki-bayu.
