Hi, everyone! :)
The lyrics for this lullaby were written by Mikhail Lermontov :)
I recorded this song 3 or 4 years ago, with my old camera and old mictophone, and now I finally got a chance to record a new version thanks to Mr. Classical! ^^
So, I don't sing in Russian very often - and no, it's not because I don't like my language. It's just like that. I'm very glad to finally sing something in my native language and I really hope you'll like it :)
The instrumental and beautiful video editing is by Mr. Classical, you can listen to a lot of great classical pieces on his channel:

Also, a special shout-out to Pat Wyche, I hope you'll like this version too! :)
The lyrics:
Тихо смотрит месяц ясный
В колыбель твою.
Спи, младенец мой прекрасный,
Баюшки-баю.
Стану сказывать я сказки,
Песенку спою;
Ты ж дремли, закрывши глазки,
Баюшки-баю.
По камням струится Терек,
Плещет мутный вал;
Злой чечен ползет на берег,
Точит свой кинжал.
Но отец твой старый воин,
Закален в бою:
Спи, малютка, будь спокоен,
Баюшки-баю.
The translations from wiki:
Quietly the bright moon
Is looking at you in the cradle.
Sleep, baby, my dearest,
Hushabye, a-bye.
I will start telling a story,
Sing a song;
You dream a dream, closing the eyes,
Hushabye, a-bye.
Over the rocky bed flows the Terek River,
And splashes the dark waves;
A sly Chechen crawls over the bank,
Sharpening his dagger.
But your father is an experienced warrior
Trained in battles:
Sleep, my little one, be peaceful,
Lullaby, a-bye.
