Bayushki Bayu from Labyrinth by Waldkauz

When darkness falls
and shadows grow longer
the last light dies
then it is time
for me to sing
my little song
for you to sleep
long

I'm shadow and moonlight
last glimmer of mist
the first shine of dreaming
my lips kiss your cold wrist
owl wing and wonder
stardusts black sky
hush now my darling
I hear your sweet cry

Hush, Hush
and have no fright
Now sleep well my child
I am the night
Hush, Hush
and cry no tears
Now sleep well my child
I am the night

I'm whisper of windhowl
the cracking of leaves
my eyes shining moonbeams
and silver the tears
my cloak brings you madness
trees shiver in fear
hush now my darling
your nightmare is here

Баю баюшки баю
Баю-баюшки-баю,
Не ложися на краю!
Придет серенький волчок,
И ухватит за бочок.
Он ухватит за бочок,
И потащит во лесок.
И потащит во лесок
Под ракитовый кусток.
К нам, волчок, не ходи!
Нашу Машу не буди!
Баю-баюшки-баю,
Не ложися на краю!
Баю-баюшки-баю,
Не ложися на краю!

Translation:
Hush my darling don't you cry,
On the edge you musn't lie!
Little grey wolf comes at night
And will take of you a bite.
Will take of you a bite that brute
Tug you off into the woods.
Tug you off into the woods
Underneath the willow root.
Wolf, don't come hear our prayer!
Don't wake our Masha there!
Hush my darling don't you cry,
On the edge you musn't lie!
Hush my darling don't you cry,
On the edge you musn't lie!
