Russian Lullabies
Traditional songs to sing your little one to sleep — with lyrics, translations, meanings and easy chords.
In Russian folklore the night is a place of gentle guardians — the little grey cat who rocks the cradle, the bright moon looking down on the sleeping child. Russian lullabies (kolybelnye) are famous for their melancholy sweetness: simple, circular melodies born to carry children through the long northern winters. Here you will find the great classics — Bayu-Bayushki-Bayu with its playful grey wolf warning, Lermontov’s Cossack Lullaby watched over by the clear moon, and the beloved polar bear song from the cartoon Umka — each with transliterated words, the original Cyrillic where we can print it, English translations, meaning, and easy guitar and piano chords.
