Спят усталые игрушки
Олег Анофриев Lyrics

The song, titled "Спят усталые игрушки" or "Sleep Tired Toys," is a lullaby that talks about how all the tired toys are getting ready to sleep, waiting for the kids to snuggle in with them. The lyrics describe the scene of a sleepy house where everything is set up for a cozy slumber - the books are sleeping, the blankets and pillows are arranged, and even the stories are going to bed so that they can feature in the dreams. The line "Ты ей пожелай: "Баю-бай!" ("Say to her - bye-bye!") suggests that the child should speak to the fairy tale and send her to sleep too.

The second verse takes us outside the house, where the "Drema" (a personification of sleep) is walking around quietly, ensuring that everyone is in deep slumber. It's getting darker outside, and the night is becoming wiser. The lyrics encourage the kids to close their eyes and say "Баю-бай" to sleep. The repetition of the phrase at the end reinforces the idea that it's time to close the eyes and go to sleep.
