by Konstantin Dmitrevich Bal'mont (1867 - 1942)

Spi, moya detochka, glazki svoi zakry'vaya
Language: Russian (Русский) 
    Ninike.

Spi, moya detochka, glazki svoi zakry'vaya,
Spi, moya devochka, ptichka moya polevaya,
Svetlogolovka, usni, xorosho tebe budet,
Spi, moya detochka, Bog tebya zavtra razbudit.

Ptichke svoej On naveet vozdushny'e gryozy',
Splyol koly'bel` ej on nezhno iz list`ev beryozy',
Son naklonilsya s dremotoj, i shepchet skvoz` vetku:
Est` li zdes` detochka? YA ubayukayu detku.

Spit li zdes` detochka v myagkoj svoej koly'bel`ke?
Slavno li detochke v tyoploj uyutnoj postel`ke?
Spi, moya devochka, glazki svoi zakry'vaya,
Spi, moya detochka, ptichka moya polevaya.
