You will be a bird in clouds –                   

Cradle-song for birds

The sun is sleeping behind forests,

Drowsiness is hurrying at the nest...

My trusting chick,

Listen to you father will tell!

There are cats under the nest -

It's not far from the misfortune!

There are clouds on the sky,

The road to them is not easy!

You will grow, overcome the fear,

You will be a bird in clouds!

You will be a bird in clouds –

Don't forget my son, about cats!

Bye-bye, bye-bye,

Sleep my little chick fall asleep

Near you father under moon.

Bye-bye, my darling.

Bye-bye, my darling.
