Sleep my child! My baby, bye-bye!
Accumulate much strength!
Do you want to sleep? Rest,
Keep smiling - and sleep!

The lullaby softens
The strange racket.
May you dream in your sleep,
That the whole world is asleep.

The world is below and you are above it
In the sweet sleep you float:
There is Moscow, the ancient Rome
And the nightly Paris.

And with you in unison
The voices sing, -
Indeed, it’s only a dream,
But sleeping - you are growing.

Maybe, everything maybe:
You’ll some time
In reality recapitulate
This path.

You’ll fly over the earth
Above roofs and treetops, -
Until now you’re sleeping deeply -
Look your dream to the end.
