A special gift for Тимофей
Тимофей
A wooden cradle that rocks
Деревянная колыбель
The Wooden Cradle
Lullaby
Slow and quiet, sung softly over a small arrangement - written to be played at bedtime.
Free to keep
OriginalTranslation
Колыбель из старой сосныA cradle made of old pineСкрипнет тихо и опятьCreaks quietly and then againТимофей качайся тихоTimofey rock gentlyКолыбель умеет ждатьThe cradle knows how to waitВ ней качались и до тебяOthers rocked in it before youДед и мама и сестраGrandfather and mother and sisterДерево умеет помнитьWood knows how to rememberКак качать до самого утраHow to rock until the morningБаю-бай мой ТимофейHush a bye my TimofeyКолыбель скрипит слегкаThe cradle creaks a littleБаю-бай мой ТимофейHush a bye my TimofeyМама рядом и близкаMama is near and close byРучка выскользнула тихоYour hand has slipped out quietlyПальцы больше не в кулакYour fingers are not a fist any moreКолыбель ещё качаетThe cradle is still rockingХоть уснул ты и такThough you are already asleepБаю-бай мой ТимофейHush a bye my TimofeyКолыбель скрипит слегкаThe cradle creaks a littleБаю-бай мой ТимофейHush a bye my TimofeyМама рядом и близкаMama is near and close by
Lullaby
Russian
The story behind this song
The old wooden cradle still rocks exactly the way it always has, worn smooth by every baby who came before him.
Why this moment matters
A cradle worn smooth by every baby who rocked in it before is carrying more family history than it looks like it is.
