This was a project for my world music class. We were to take a YouTube video of a song from another country and transpose it into something different. Here is the link to the video I used: • Russian Cossack Lullaby (male voice v... • Instead of having one male vocal part and a guitar accompaniment, I decided to take Bayushki Bayu, a Russian Lullaby, and make it into an a cappella SSA lullaby. I am singing all three parts, but in the video I am singing Soprano 2. If you would like to follow along with the lyrics, here they are: • Spi mladyenets, moi prekrasný, • bayushki bayu, • tikho smotrit myesyats yasný • f kolýbyel tvayu. • Stanu skazývat' ya skazki, • pyesenki spayu, • tý-zh dremli, zakrývshi glazki, • bayushki bayu. • Sim uznayesh, budit vremya, • branoye zhityo, • smyelo vdyenish nogu f stremya • i vazmyosh ruzhyo. • Bogatýr tý budish s vidu • i kazak dushoi. • Pravazhat' tibya ya výdu, • tý makhnyosh rukoi. • Spi, mladyenets, moi prekrasný, • bayushki bayu. • tikho smotrit myesyats yasný • f kolýbyel tvayu. • Oooh, oooh, ooooh • f kolýbyel tvayu. • Here are the lyrics to the full poem in English (my version cut out some lyrics to make it shorter): • Sleep, good boy, my beautiful, • bayushki bayu, • quietly the moon is looking • into your cradle. • I will tell you fairy tales • and sing you little songs, • but you must slumber, with your little eyes closed, • bayushki bayu. • The time will come, then you will learn • the pugnacious life, • boldly you'll stem your foot into the stirrup • and take the gun. • The saddle-cloth for your battle horse • I will sew you from silk. • Sleep now, my dear little child, • bayushki bayu. • You will look like a hero • and be a cossack deep in your heart. • I will hurry to accompany you, • you will just wave your hand. • How many secrete bitter tears • will I shed that night! • Sleep, my angel, calmly, sweetly, • bayushki bayu. • I will die from longing, • I will wait inconsolably, • I will pray the whole day long, • and at night I'll tell fortunes. • I will think that you are in trouble • far away in a foreign land. • Sleep now, as long as you don't know sorrows, • bayushki bayu. • I will give you on your way • a small holy icon, • and when you pray to God, you'll • put it right in front of you. • When preparing yourself for the dangerous fight • please remember your mother. • Sleep, good boy, my beautiful, • bayushki bayu. • • Thanks for watching!
