By-ush Ki By-u
Traditional Russian, translated by Michael Mark
© 1996 HCD Music (ASCAP)

Spih mla-jyeh-nyetz moy pri-krash-nyi
By-ush ki by-u.
Ti-hoh svyeh-tit myeh-syatz ya-snih
V’kol-i-biel tvy-u.

Sleep, my baby in your cradle. By-ush ki by-u.
Rest and sleep while the quiet rising
Moon shines over you.

Sta-nu ska-zi-vatch ya ska-ski
Pyes-yem-koo spoh-yu.
Pi jheh spih za-kref-shih gla-ski. By-ush ki by-u.

Fairy tales and songs and stories I will sing to you.
Close your eyes and sleep, my baby.
By-ush ki by-u.

This song appears on Tom Chapin's Around The World And Back Again CD.
