by Lev Aleksandrovich Mey (1822 - 1862)

Kolybel'naja pesnja
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Baju, bajushki, baju,
baju Olen'ku moju!
Chto na zor'ke, na zare,
o vesennej o pore,
ptichki bozhii pojut,
v temnom lese gnezda v'jut.

Baju, bajushki, baju,
baju Olen'ku moju!
Solovejko - solovej!
Ty gnezda sebe ne vej:
priletaj ty v nash sadok,
pod vysokij teremok.

Baju, bajushki, baju,
baju Olen'ku moju!
Po kustochkam poporkhat', 
spelykh jagod poklevat',
solncem krylyshki prigret', 
Ole posenku propet'.

Baju, bajushki baju,
baju Olen'ku moju!
