Птицы [Ptitsy] [English translation]

Don’t disturb the Earth, birds.

Don’t search for the wind in the field.

Turn the spears into needles.

I’ll shelter my nestlings by myself.

Sleep, my children. Dreams in a hanaper

I’ll bosom softly under your pillow.

Rest your little cheeks in a warm palm.

Go to sleep now, baby.

Sky, go to sleep. Lullaby.

Heart, hush, don’t interfere.

Give away the strength, carry them back to the land

Where lilacs are in blossom, where the May is dancing.

Set up the song, titmice.

Let them dream of a peaceful home.

Don’t look at us like that, sisters.

I believe you’ll save them, birds.

Is the night really at the zenith already.

Allure the sun into the field.

Don’t let the morning into the windows:

I need to drink up some more warmth.

Sky, go to sleep. Lullaby.

Heart, hush, don’t interfere.

Give away the strength, carry them back to the land

Where lilacs are in blossom, where the May is dancing.
