Koly'bel`naya pesnya
Language: Russian (Русский)
Spi, ditya moyo, [usni]1! Sladkij son k sebe mani: V nyan`ki ya tebe vzyala Veter, solnce i orla. Uletel oryol domoj; Solnce skry'los` pod vodoj: Veter, posle trex nochej, Mchitsya k materi svoej. [Vetra sprashivaet]2 mat`: «Gde izvolil propadat`? Ali zvezdy' voeval? Ali volny' vsyo gonyal?» «Ne gonyal ya voln morskix, Zvezd ne trogal zoloty'x; YA ditya oberegal, Koly'belochku kachal!» Spi, ditya moyo, spi, usni! spi, usni! Sladkij son k sebe mani: V nyan`ki ya tebe vzyala Veter, solnce i orla.
