Тяпа, бай, бай, Тяпа, спи, усни,
Угомон тебя возьми! Тяпа! Спать надо!
Тяпа, спи, усни, Тяпу бука съест,
серый волк возьмёт, в тёмный лес снесёт.
Тяпа, спи, усни!
Что во сне увидишь, мне про то расскажешь:
Про остров чудный, где ни жнут ни сеют,
Где цветут и зреют груши наливные,
День и ночь поют птички золотые!
Бай, бай, баю бай, бай, бай, Тяпа!

With a doll
Language: English after the Russian (Русский)
Tyapa, bye, bye, Tyapa, bye, bye,
Calm yourself down! Tyapa! You need to sleep!
Tyapa, sleep, sleep, Tyapa, or the boogeyman will come
a big wolf will come, and carry you into the dark forest.
Tyapa, sleep, go to sleep!
What you see in your dreams, tell me about it:
About a wonderful island, where you don’t need to reap nor sow,
Where pear trees bloom and ripen,
Day and night golden birds sing!
Bye, bye, hushabye, bye, bye, Tyapa!
Translator's note: "Tyapa" is a doll made famous in the professional puppet troupe of Sergei Vladimirovich Obraztsov (1901-1992), with a small baby’s head topped by a few strands of hair, two small hands, and a billowing nightshirt to cover the arm of the puppeteer.
