Текст песни Вій - Колискова 33

Luli-luli, little girls, my little angels,
The moon is already chatting, soon a dark little thing will fall to the ground ...
I stand over the cradle: what can I give you to eat?
On the third day, the darkness of hunger hangs in the house, and the mother says:

Why do you lull? Take them to the forest -
Let there night their swing on the black wing!
Not with the cross - so God will have mercy on you with pitchforks:
As we are dust, let the earth go to the earth.

To wander the dews barefoot,
From spring to autumn they flashed in the grass with a green glow,
And when it gets cold, the snow spreads the canvas ...
You don't live anyway - you will die of hunger, and your mother says:

Why do you lull? Take them to the forest -
Let there night their swing on the black wing!
But throw a leaf - I do not have enough strength:
We are all dust, let the earth go to the earth.

Love chicks once again dove ...
You will no longer cry from hunger - only I will pay:
You, thank you Dad, have become rude,
You will shout under the windows at night, and I will tell you:

Luli-luli, little girls, my little angels,
Let the night carry you on a black wing
It doesn't matter if you're sorry
We are all dust - let the earth go to the earth.
