Translation: A warm drop, a warm drop, a warm drop for the old man
A warm drop and taste it yourself, a warm drop for the old man
Put to sleep, put to sleep, put to sleep the old man
Put to sleep, and wash his feet, a warm drop for the old man
A hen’s egg, a hen’s egg, a hen’s egg for the old man
A hen’s egg and a little butter and give it to the old man
Fresh bread, fresh bread, fresh bread for the old man
Fresh bread and a drop of soup and give it to the old man
Thula Baba
Keep quiet my child
Keep quiet my baby
Be quiet, Daddy will be home by dawn
There’s a star that will lead him home
The star will brighten his way home
The hills and stones are still the same my love
My life has changed, yes my life has changed
The children grow, but you don’t know my love
The children grew, but you don’t see them grow

La Vida es un Carnaval
English Translation:
Anyone thinking that life is unfair,
Needs to know that's not the case,
that life is beautiful, you must live it.
Anyone thinking he's alone and that that's bad
Needs to know that's not the case,
that in life no one is alone, there is always someone
Ay, there's no need to cry, because life is a carnival,
It's more beautiful to live singing.
Oh, Ay, there's no need to cry,
For life is a carnival
And your pains go away by singing.
For those that complain a lot.
For those that only criticize.
For those that use weapons.
For those that pollute us.
For those that make war.
For those that live in sin.
For those that mistreat us.
For those that make us sick.
Kyrie
Lord, have mercy. Christ, have mercy.

Vesñianochko
Translation: Spring, young lady, where did you spend the winter?
In the forest, on the maple tree.
Oh, Spring, Spring, where is your daughter, young lady?
She is somewhere in the garden, sewing a shirt,
Somewhere at Orina’s, cutting duvet covers.
Somewhere at Odarka’s, cutting gifts,
Somewhere at Avdyoshka’s, she is sewing pillows.
