Svetlana - Russian lullaby by Sasha Kondrasov

13-year old Sasha Kondrasov singing a famous Russian lullaby from the movie "The Hussar Ballad", translated to English in her own words:

Lunar glade so pretty,
Night like this is daylight...
Sleep my sweet Svetlana,
Sleep as once before:
In the corner pillows
Place your cheek softly...
Stars like little freckles,
Peacefully shine down.
Lunar garden leaves fall
Gentle whispers calling.
Soon the day will come here,
Promises behold.
Candles burning low,
Melting to the ground...
Sleep my heart of hearts,
Dreams at night still glow.
Sleep my sweet Svetlana,
Sleep as once before.

(Lyrics in original Russian language)
Лунные поляны,
Ночь, как день, светла...
Спи, моя Светлана,
Спи, как я спала:
В уголок подушки
Носиком уткнись...
Звёзды, как веснушки,
Мирно светят вниз.
Лунный сад листами
Сонно шелестит.
Скоро день настанет,
Что-то он сулит.
Догорает свечка,
Догорит дотла...
Спи, моё сердечко,
Ночь, как сон, светла.

Do you happen to know a Russian lullaby that has something with 'the bear is asleep, the auntie is asleep' ? My dad used to sing it to me, but I don't speak Russian (yet) and can't recall exactly the phonetic of it. He died 10 years ago so I have nobody else to ask!

@Kondrasov4Tennis I recall it starts with "Спи....." it's a really short one and the last few sentences are something along "джа джа Спи, джа джа Спи" and a final sentence. (as much as I can make google sound like I remember).

Thank you for your help!
