I went to a John McCutcheon concert a few years ago and he ended the concert with a song which he learned in Russia. He held up a phonetic translation, so we could all sing along with him in Russian. I would love to have our community children's choir sing this song, first in English, then in Russian. I "think" I remember what the words sounded like, but I don't want to chance teaching it incorrectly.   These are the words I need translated - phonetically, please.   

May there always be sunshine.
May there always be blue skies.
May there always be Mama.
May there always be me.

i taught this to an elementary school once,
and they learned it very well, we also learned
the Cyrillic alphabet, and had a russian midwife
there talking about underwater birth with dolphins
swimming around. The kids were exposed to some
varied new experiences that day! also i had interviewed
a woman about making pysanka-ukranian easter eggs,
and i remember Charlotte Diamond sings that song
in french and spanish as well as russian and english.

This is the continuation.
ya - like in yard but shorter
The sequence of vowels 'ie' in all other words are the same like in
'budiet'- first 'ee' like in 'knee' then 'e' like in 'pen'
a - is always pronounced like in 'car' but a bit shorter
e - at the end of a word is like in 'pen'
u - at the end of a word is like in 'put'

I hope I've been of some help to you. I'm not a native speeker of English and I don't know how you write the words phonetically. I know the international transcription for learners of English as a foreign language but I don't think the native speakers are familiar with it and moreover it might not be suitable for rendering russian sounds.

Hi. I was wondering if you could tell me what, if any, meaning there is in a phonetic description of 2 words that I think may be Russian? They sort of sound like a name to me, but I am not sure. I am also not sure if it is only 2 words. Could be 3.

Here goes and thanks in advance for any help!

Oblonsky / Oblonski / Oblonskiy / Oblonskij is a common family name, notably occuring in Tolstoy's novel "Anna Karenina". Kirsten Oblonsky can be a woman from Scandinavia or elsewhere, of Russian ancestry.
