Yeryomushka's Lullaby
Lulla, lullaby,
Lulla, lullaby,
Lower than the slenderest stem
Must you bend your head,
So the poor orphan child
May have a life free from care.
Lulla, lullaby,
Lulla, lullaby.
Strong winds can break the slightest stalk,
So bend your head lower,
Then his elders can help Yeryomushka
To get on in life the better.
Lulla, lullaby,
Lulla, lullaby.
You will enjoy success, and strike up friendships
With the great and mighty,
And you will plan many an escapade
With fine young men about town.
Thus happy and carefree
You will enjoy life to the full.
Lulla, lullaby,
Lulla, lullaby.
For voice and piano. Composed 16 March 1868 in St.
Petersburg to a text by Nekrassov, and dedicated to A. S.
Dargomizhky. First edition, Bessel, 1871.
