The Cossack Lullaby listen online

Sleep, my beautiful good boy, 
Bayushki bayu*, 
Quietly the moon is looking 
Into your cradle.
I will tell you fairy tales 
And sing you little songs, 
But you must slumber, with your little eyes closed, 
Bayushki bayu.

You will look like a hero 
And be a Cossack deep in your heart. 
I will accompany you and watch you go, 
You will just wave your hand.
How many secret bitter tears 
Will I shed that night! 
Sleep, my angel, calmly, sweetly, 
Bayushki bayu.

I will die from yearning, 
Inconsolably waiting, 
I'll pray the whole day long, 
And at night I'll wonder,
I'll think that you're in trouble 
Far away in a strange land. 
Sleep now, as long as you know no sorrows, 
Bayushki bayu.

On the road, I'll give you 
A small holy icon, 
And when you pray to God, you'll 
Put it right in front of you,
While preparing for the dangerous battle 
Please remember your mother. 
Sleep, good boy, my beautiful, 
Bayushki bayu.
