Translation into English and French:

A cossack lullaby
Sleep, my darling, sleep, my baby,
Close your eyes and sleep.
Darkness comes; into your cradle
Moonbeams shyly peep.
Many pretty songs I'll sing you
And a lullaby.
Pleasant dreams the night will bring you....
Sleep, dear, rock-a-bye.

Muddy waters churn in anger,
Loud the Terek roars,
And a Chechen with a dagger
Leaps onto the shore.
Steeled your father is in gory
Battle.... You and I,
Little one, we need not worry... .
Sleep, dear, rock-a-bye.

There will come a day when boldly,
Like your dad, my son,
You will mount your horse and shoulder,
Proud, a Cossack gun.
With bright silks your saddle for you
I will sew.... There lie
Roads as yet untrod before you....
Sleep, dear, rock-a-bye.

You'll grow up to be a fearless
Cossack, and a true.
Off you'll ride, and I'll stand tearless,
Looking after you.
But when you are gone from sight, son,
Bitterly I'll cry....
May the dreams you dream be light, son;
Sleep, dear, rock-a-bye.

Thoughts of you when we are parted
All my days will fill.
In the nighttime, anxious-hearted,
Pray for you I will.
I'll be thinking that you're lonely,
That for home you sigh....
Sleep, my son, my one and only,
Sleep, dear, rock-a-bye.

I will see you to the turning,
And you'll ride away.
With my icon you will journey
And before it pray.
Let your thoughts in time of danger
To your mother fly.
Close your eyes and sleep, my angel,
Sleep, dear, rock-a-bye. *****

Berceuse cosaque

Dors, mon bébé, mon joli
Dodo, fais dodo!
La lune regarde sans bruit
Dans ton berceau
Je te dirai des contes de fée
Et te chanterai de petites chansons
Mais tu dois dormir, tes petits yeux fermés,
Dodo, fais dodo.

Le temps viendra, alors tu connaîtras la vie de guerrier,
Tu mettras hardiment le pied à l'étrier
Et prendras le fusil
La couverture de selle pour ton cheval de bataille
Je la coudrai en soie pour toi
Dors maintenant, mon cher petit,
Dodo, fais dodo.

Tu ressembleras à un héros
Et seras un Cosaque dans l'âme
Je me hâterai de t'accompagner
Tu me diras adieu de la main.
Combien d'amères larmes silencieuses
Je verserai cette nuit-là !
Dors, mon ange, calmement, doucement
Dodo, fais dodo !

Je mourrai de langueur
J'attendrai inconsolable
Je prierai toute la journée
Et la nuit, je ferai de la divination
Je penserai que tu as des ennuis
Au loin, en terre étrangère.
Dors maintenant, tant que tu ne connais pas les peines
Dodo, fais dodo.

Je te donnerai une petite icône sainte
Pour ton chemin
Et quand tu prieras Dieu,
Tu la mettras bien devant toi.
Quand tu te prépareras pour un dangereux combat
Je te prie de te rappeler ta mère
Dors, mon bébé, mon joli
Dodo, fais dodo.

  • Ich kann nicht sprechen, kann ich nur hören! Oleg Pogudin - die Perfektion der russischen Klassiker! Herrlich ... Danke

  • "Zloi Chechen"? ne znaju chto bolshe mogu zkazat ... oni dlja mnja tozhe narod kak mi!

  • Спи, младенец мой прекрасный, Баюшки-баю. Тихо смотрит месяц ясный В колыбель твою. Стану сказывать я сказки, Песенку спою; Ты ж дремли, закрывши глазки, Баюшки-баю. (……) Богатырь ты будешь с виду И казак душой. -- Провожать тебя я выйду Ты махнëшь рукой... Сколько горьких слëз украдкой Я в ту ночь пролью!.. Спи, малютка, тихо, сладко, Баюшки-баю.
  • I am Russian, but I have known of this song only today. It's a pity this beautiful song is not so well known. Maybe it is because of the lyrics which is very beatiful, but SO SAD. I will sing this song to my son, but I will change the text a little (shorten it).

  • @clarajanny! Да! Исполнение идеальное для колыбельной!

    А Дятлов тот  "устрашающий куплет" пропустил ---

    время теперь другое.

  • Nice version. I enjoyed the montage of Lermontov's paintings along with the lyrics of his poem being sung.

  • Ideal performance!
