Bayouchki, bayou
This French lullaby is a shorter version of the Russian Cossack Lullaby.
Bayouchki, bayou
Bayushki, bayu
Berceuse
Lullaby
(French)
(English)
Dors, mon bébé magnifique
Bayouchki, bayou
Sur ton lit, la lune incline
Son visage doux
Sur ton lit, la lune incline
Son visage doux.
Ma voix te dira des contes
Les chants de chez nous
Ferme tes yeux que j'adore
Bayouchki, Bayou
Ferme tes yeux que j'adore
Bayouchki, Bayou.
Sleep, my wonderful baby
Bayushki, bayu
Over your bed, the moon bows
Its sweet face,
Over your bed, the moon bows
Its sweet face.
My voice will tell you tales,
Songs from our land,
Close your eyes that I love,
Bayushki, bayu
Close your eyes that I love,
Bayushki, bayu.
Notes
"Bayuski bayu" is the Russian equivalent of "lullaby" or "hush-a-bye".
Many thanks to Morgann from the IUFM (French Teachers Training College) from St Brieuc (Brittany) for singing this song for us.
