Lullaby

Anton Stepanovich Arensky

Everything is quiet and dark around,

The daytime lights have gone out,

And the silent night has flown by...

Sleep, my heart, sleep!

I am alone, I have been alone for a long time!

Magical dreams have rushed past...

Heeding the calm of the night,

Sleep, my heart, sleep!

You must forget those days,

Alas, they will not return,

The silent night has swallowed them...

Sleep, my heart, sleep!

There is no happiness — it's a ghost!

Only nightly dreams gift to us

The beautiful dreams of May.

Sleep, my heart, sleep!
