Nyrjaet mesjac v oblakach - Pora ložitsja spat'. Ditja kačaja na rukach Poët tichon'ka mat'. Usnuli lastočki davno, davno, I ljudi spjat v domach. Luna gljadit v tvoë okno - Našla tebja, našla tebja vpatmach. V sadu derevja šelestjat, I govorjat oni: ,,Skvorčata spjat, golčata spjat, I ty, molyš, usni. Usni, ne bojsja, naša dver' Zakryta ne zasov. K nam ne pridët kasmatyj zver' Iz sumraka lesov. Oberegajut žizn' tvoju, I rodinu, i dom, Tvoi druz'ja v ljubom kraju. Ich bol'še s každym dnëm. Oni dorogu pregradjat Vojne ne vsej zemle. Vragi vojny, druz'ja rebjat Živut v ljuboj strane.
