Thread Name: Need help: Russian Lullabies
Subject: RE: Need help: Russian Lullabies
I've now seen 3 different versions of the Russian words of Lermontov's Cossack Lullaby ("Spi mladenets..."). The version on Mama Lisa's page, above, has a couple of verses new to me, and omits a couple from the original poem.

I posted a prose translation of what I understand to be the original poem on 20 October 07 (click here).

I have the Obolensky book with the Russian text, and I'll try and scan it - it will be an interesting learning curve with the OCR software.
