Kolybel'naja
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE NOR
Stonet rebjonok... Svecha, nagoraja,
Tusklo mercajet krugom.
Celuju noch' kolybel'ku kachaja,
Mat' ne zabylasja snom.
Ranym-ranjokhon'ko v dver' ostorozhno
Smert' serdobol'naja stuk!
Vzdrognula mat', ogljanulas' trevozhno...
,,Polno pugat'sja, moj drug!
Blednoje utro uzh smotrit v okoshko...
Placha, toskuja, ljublja,
Ty utomilas', vzdremni-ka nemnozhko,
Ja posizhu za tebja.
Ugomonit' ty ditja ne sumela.
Slashche tebja ja spoju.`` -
,,Tishe! rebjonok moj mechetsja, b'jotsja,
Dushu terzaja moju!``
,,Nu, da so mnoju on skoro ujmjotsja.
Bajushki, baju, baju.`` -
,,Shchjochki blednejut, slabejet dykhan'e...
Da zamolchi-zhe, molju!`` -
,,Dobroje znamen'e, stikhnet stradan'e,
Bajushki, baju, baju.``
,,Proch' ty, prokljataja!
Laskoj svojeju sgubish' ty radost' moju!``
,,Net, mirnyj son ja mladencu naveju.
Bajushki, baju, baju.`` -
,,Szhal'sja, pozhdi dopevat' khot' mgnoven'e,
Strashnuju pesnju tvoju!``
,, Vidish', usnul on pod tikhoje pen'e.
Bajushki, baju, baju.``
