Колыбельная медведицы [Kolybel’naya medvedizy] [English translation]

Stirring the snow with a spoon,

The great night is coming.

Why aren't you, silly,

Sleeping yet?

Your neighbors are asleep,

The polar bears,

Hurry up and go to sleep,

Baby.

We're swimming on the block of ice,

As though it's a brigantine,

On the grey, harsh

Seas.

And all night, the neighbors,

The star-bears

Are shining to the distant

Ships.
