Спи, младенец мой прекрасный
Language: Russian (Русский)
Спи, [младенец]1 мой прекрасный, Баюшки-баю. Тихо смотрит месяц ясный В колыбель твою. Стану сказывать я сказки, Песенку спою; Ты ж дремли, закрывши глазки, Баюшки-баю. По камням струится Терек, Плещет мутный вал; Злой чечен ползёт на берег, Точит свой кинжал; Но отец твой старый воин, Закалён в бою: Спи, малютка, будь спокоен, Баюшки-баю. Сам узнаешь, будет время, Бранное житьё; Смело вденешь ногу в стремя И возьмешь ружьё. Я седельце боевое Шёлком разошью... Спи, дитя моё родное, Баюшки-баю. Богатырь ты будешь с виду И казак душой. Провожать тебя я выйду, -- Ты махнёшь рукой... Сколько горьких слёз украдкой, Я в ту ночь пролью... Спи, мой ангел, тихо, сладко, Баюшки-баю. Стану я тоской томиться, Безутешно ждать; Стану целый день молиться, По ночам гадать; Стану думать, что скучаешь Ты в чужом краю... Спи ж, пока забот не знаешь, Баюшки-баю. Дам тебе я на дорогу Образок святой: Ты его, моляся богу, Ставь перед собой; Да готовясь в бой опасный, Помни мать свою... Спи, младенец мой прекрасный, Баюшки-баю.

Wiegenlied
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Russian (Русский)
Schlaf mein Kleiner, du mein feiner. Lulle, lulle, ein! Mondesschimmer strahlt ins Zimmer, Schaut ins Bettchen dein. Werd' erdichten dir Geschichten, Singen Liedchen fein, Schlumm're süße, Äuglein schließe, Lulle, lulle, ein!
From the Gretchaninov score.
Note: the words "Schlaf ein! Schlaf ein!" are added to the end where Grechaninov repeats "baju, baju" ("баю, баю")
