The Dream passes by the window,
And Sleep by the fence.
The Dream asks Sleep:
"Where should we rest tonight?"
Where the cottage is warm,
Where the tot is tiny,
There we will go,
And rock the child to sleep.
There we will sleep,
and will sing to the child:
Sleep, sleep, my little falcon,
Sleep, sleep, my little dove
And Sleep by the fence.

A traditional Ukrainian folk lullaby of unknown authorship — one of the most well-known lullabies in Ukrainian tradition, with many lyrical variants.
🔤 How to read it (Latin transliteration)
Oy khodytʹ son kolo vikon,
A drimota — kolo plota.
Pytayetʹsya son drimoty:
De zh my budem nochuvaty?
De khatonʹka teplesenʹka,
De dytynka malesenʹka,
Tam my budem nochuvaty,
I dytynku kolysaty.
Oy na kota ta vorkota,
Na dytynu ta y drimota,
Kotyk bude vorkotaty,
Dytynonʹka bude spaty.
A drimota — kolo plota.
