I'm rocking you, I'm rocking you,
Father went fishing,
Mother went to milk the cows,
Sister went to wash the diapers,
I'm rocking you, singing to you,
Father went fishing,
Mother went to milk the cows,
And grandpa went to chop firewood.
Grandpa went to chop firewood.
And grandma went to cook fish soup.* (*Ukha)
Grandma went to cook fish soup,
and feed her granddaughter with it.
I'm rocking you, singing to you,
Father went fishing,
Mother went to milk the cows,
And grandpa went to chop firewood.
Grandma went to pick some berries,
Pick some berries, some sweet berries.
We'll feed our little Olenka,
And we will cook our fish.
Sleep, my child, fall asleep,
May the calm-down-elf* (*Ugomon) take you there.
Sleep, my child, fall asleep,
