С куклой
Language: Russian (Русский)
Тяпа, бай, бай, Тяпа, спи, усни, Угомон тебя возьми! Тяпа! Спать надо! Тяпа, спи, усни, Тяпу бука съест, серый волк возьмёт, в тёмный лес снесёт. Тяпа, спи, усни! Что во сне увидишь, мне про то расскажешь: Про остров чудный, где ни жнут ни сеют, Где цветут и зреют груши наливные, День и ночь поют птички золотые! Бай, бай, баю бай, бай, бай, Тяпа!

Mit der Puppe
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Russian (Русский)
Tjapa, eia, Tjapa, schlafe ein, schließe deine Äugelein, Tjapa! schlaf, hörst du! Tjapa, schlafe ein, wirst du brav nicht sein, kommt der böse Wolf, trägt dich in den Wald! Tjapa, schlafe ein, will dir jetzt erzählen, wovon dir soll träumen: vom Zaubergarten, wo auf allen Bäumen, wie sonst Früchte reifen, Näschereien wachsen, Kuchen und Konfekt, brauchst sie nur zu greifen! Eia, schlafe ein, eia, Tjapa!
From the Peters Edition of the Musorgsky score.
