This is an adaption of Cossack's Lullaby for a war scene, there was going to be some dialogue at the beginning between two fallen soldiers, but I decided against that at the last minute while editing, Lyrics Below.
I hope you Enjoy!
Lyrics:
Sleep now Soldier, under this tree,
Bayushki-bayu.*
On your face the moon above thee
Gently sheds light so true.
I shall start to, tell a story,
A melody just for you
Slumber now, a fable for thee,
Bayushki-bayu, Bayushki-bayu.
On it’s stones the Terek falling,
A muddy palisade;
Here the cruel Chechen‘s crawling,
Sharpening a deadly blade;
Battle hardened, is your brother,
Wary of no view:
So sleep then soldier, and don’t be bothered,
Bayushki-bayu, Bayushki-bayu.
You will know in dawns yet breaking,
What a grand race you’ll run;
Boldly to the stirrup taking
You’ll pick up your gun.
Yours when you go into battle
Woven of silk threads anew...
Sleep my Brother, I’ll give you my saddle,
Bayushki-bayu, Bayushki-bayu.
A Hero will you, be tomorrow,
A Cossack there will you stand.
I shall see you leave with sorrow -
You shall wave your hand...
Many bitter tears will follow
Concealing my love for you..
Sleep my brother without sorrow,
Bayushki-bayu, Bayushki-bayu.
I will start to pine and languish,
Unconsoled to wait.
Days will I entreat in anguish,
Nights but guess my fate.
What might, far from home, dismay me,
What worries might I acrew...
Sleep while worries can't betray thee,
Bayushki-bayu, Bayushki-bayu.
This icon in your bosom cherished
Sacred and adored:
I’ll Keep it that I may not perish,
And Pray often to Our Lord;
Gird for battle thinking of thee,
Keep me yet in view...
Sleep now, won’t you, So you can be free,
Bayushki-bayu, Bayushki-bayu.
*This phrase doesn't really have a good translation into English,
Closest approximation might be "Hushabye" but that's not really that close.
