by Nikolai Alekseyevich Nekrasov (1821 - 1877)

Kolybel'naja Erëmuški
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Baju, baj, baj, baju, baj, baj.
Niže tonen'koj bylinočki
Nado golovu klonit',
Čtoby bednoj prožit'.
Baju, baj, baj, 
Baju, baj, baj.

Sila lomit i solomušku,
Poklonis' poniže ej,
Čtoby staršie Erëmušku
V ljudi vyveli skorej.
Baju, baj, baj, baju, baj, baj.

V ljudi vyjdeš', vsë s vel'možami
Staneš' družestvo vodit',
S molodymi da s prigožimi
Budeš' s barami šalit'.
I veselaja, i privol'naja
Žizn' pokatitsja šutja.
Baju, baj, baj, baju, baj, baj.
