Колыбельная
Language: Russian (Русский) 
У кота, кота
Была люлька хороша,
А у нашей Валеньки
Лучше, лучше его:
Она выточена,
Сверху вызолочена.
Спи-тко, Валенька, усни,
Спи хорошая, усни!

Cradle song
Language: English  after the Russian (Русский) 
Oh, our big tomcat,
Has a good bed on the mat,
But our little Valenka
Has a better bed than that.
For the top looks like gold,
And it keeps her from the cold.
Fall, fall, Valenka, asleep,
Fall, my kitten, fall asleep.

From the Lyadov score.
