Alexandre Tikhonovitch Gretchaninov:
Lullaby
(Mikhail Yur'yevich Lermontov)
("From distant lands and peoples...", Track 3)
Sleep, my beautiful child.
The bright moon is watching over you.
I will tell you fairy tales.
I will sing you lullabies.
Sleep, baby, sleep.Text from CD insert.- "Kazach'ja kolybel'naja pesnja"
Spi, mladenec moj prekrasnyj,
bajushkibaju, bajushkibaju.
Tikho smotrit mesjac jasnyj
v kolybel' tvoju.
Stanu skazyvat' ja skazki,
pesenku spoju;
ty zh dremli,
zakryvshi glazki,
bajushkibaju,
baju, baju.
