Cossack Cradle Song

Go to sleep, my little warrior,

Bayushki, Bayu.

See the silver moon in Heaven

Shining down on you.

All the great long night

The dear God watches over you;

Go to sleep, my little warrior,

Bayushki, Bayu.

Close your pretty eyes, my brave one,

Bayushki, Bayu.

Here's your mother close beside you,

Singing just to you.

Dream of lovely things,

And have a happy voyage or two,

In the morning come and tell me,

Bayushki, Bayu.
