Cossack Lullaby
Sleep, my baby, my beautiful one
Hush-a-bye, hush-a-bye
The bright moon is looking quietly
And rocking your cradle
I will start telling you fairy tales
And singing songs
You are dozing, closing your eyes
Hush-a-bye
You will grow up to be a hero
And a Cossack at heart
I will respect you
You will wave your hand
How many bitter tears
I will secretly wipe away
In the night
Sleep, my angel, quietly, sweetly
Hush-a-bye
I will torment myself with longing
Patiently waiting
I will spend the whole day praying
And guessing at night
I will think that you are sleeping
In a foreign land
Sleep, while you don't know any worries
Hush-a-bye
I will give you as a gift
A holy image
You, pray to God
Yes, getting ready for a dangerous battle
Remember your mother
Sleep, my baby, my beautiful one
Hush-a-bye
