Колыбельная медведицы [Kolybel’naya medvedizy] [English translation]

As if with a toy rake,

Great Night's stirring snowflakes —

little one, why aren't you asleep?

All your neighbours slumber,

Worries don't encumber them,

So rest, you too, don't weep.

All our neighbours slumber,

Worries can't encumber us,

So dream, my love, don't weep.

All across the ocean

Breeze keeps us in motion

On our floe just like on a boat.

And all night our neighbours,

Bears of stars in heavens,

Guide all ships, keep them afloat.

And all night our neighbours,

Bears of stars in heavens,

Help us safely stay afloat.
