Колыбельная
Ада Якушева Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
По стеклу стучит ладошкой
Ночь холодная, большая
Дождик Тане спать мешает
Мокнут листья, мокнут крыши
Дождик, тише, дождик, тише
Вспомни песенку для Тани
Если нынче не сердитый
Тане сказку расскажи ты
Ты ведь бродишь по дорогам
Ты ведь знаешь очень много
The lyrics of Ада Якушева's song Колыбельная paint a picture of a rainy and cold night where the rain tapping on the window pane disrupts the sleep of someone named Tanya. The first two lines of the verse create an image of the rain that is wandering outside, indifferent to the restfulness of those inside. Then, the focus shifts to Tanya, who is struggling to sleep due to the sound of the rain. The repetition of the word "Дождик" at the end of both lines creates an echo, emphasizing the disruption the rain is causing.
The following lines describe the dreariness of the night, with leaves and roofs getting soaked by the rain. However, the singer calls for a change in tone in the subsequent couplet, asking whoever is listening to the song to remember a song or a fairytale to share with Tanya. The last two lines suggest that the listener is someone who travels and knows a lot; hence the plea to share a story or a song.

Бродит дождик за окошком
Rain is wandering outside the window
По стеклу стучит ладошкой
It knocks on the glass like a palm
Ночь холодная, большая
The night is cold, big
Дождик Тане спать мешает
Rain is preventing Tanya from sleeping
Мокнут листья, мокнут крыши
Leaves are getting wet, roofs are getting wet
Дождик, тише, дождик, тише
Rain, quieter, rain, quieter
Если ты не очень занят
If you are not very busy
Вспомни песенку для Тани
Remember a little song for Tanya
Если нынче не сердитый
If you are not angry today
Тане сказку расскажи ты
Tell Tanya a fairy tale
Ты ведь бродишь по дорогам
You roam the roads
Ты ведь знаешь очень много
You know a lot
