Haha I grew up with this lullaby! Heard it so many times! I don't understand why people in US find it scary for children. It's just about a wolf that will grab you in his teeth and steal you into the forest if you lay on the side of your bed.
So basically teaches children to be safe to not fall out of bed so the mother doesn't have to worry about them by instilling fear to force them to sleep on the center of the bed. Ideal Russian Parenting 101 XD

...in an English lullaby, a baby is in a cradle on top of a tree, the wind blows and the cradle falls...in a traditional Irish lullaby you straight up say 'boo' to scare the kid, and then tell them you're just being silly. Lullaby are simply another folk way of warning and teaching the young, just like folk fairy tales.

A lot of people seem to find the lullaby creepy. But I actually find it quite beautiful. No one has ever sung me to sleep, read me a story, nor even said goodnight to me before. Especially my parents. So after listening to this lullaby I sorta got addicted to it and would always put it on, falling asleep with it.

The actual translation is more like good night sleep tight, don’t lay on the edge of the bed, or else the grey wolf will grab you by you side. Being Russian, this is the lullaby my mom used to always sing me and my siblings and it really isn’t that creepy. And although wolves do mostly represent villains in Russian stories.

Bayu Bayushki Bayu
Do not lie down near the edge of the bed
The grey wolfie will come
And grab you by your tiny sideHe'll grab you by your tiny side
And drag you to the forest...
Drag you to the forest...
Down under a willow shrub.
Don't come round, wolfie, don't wake up our Masha.
Bayu Bayushki Bayu
Do not lie down near the edge of the bed
The grey wolfie will come
He'll grab you by your tiny side
And drag you to the forest...
Drag you to the forest...
Down under a raspberry bush.
And then one raspberry will fall down
Right into Katenka's mouth.

Do not lie down near the edge of the bed
The grey wolfie will come
He'll grab you by your tiny side
And drag you to the forest...
Drag you to the forest...
Down under an aspen tree.
Don't come round, wolfie, don't wake up our Masha.
Bayu Bayushki Bayu
Do not lie down near the edge of the bed
The grey wolfie will come
He'll grab you by your tiny side
And drag you to the forest.
And drag you to the forest where Nana lives and bakes buns,
And sells them to the little ones, and Vanusha gets them free of charge

I believe this lullaby sounds scary to foreign speakers because, even if the translation is correct, Russian is an intricate language. In Russian, words are very versatile. In this lullaby, every word is used in a “childish form”. So it doesn’t says the wolf, but instead uses the word “wolshok”. Wich basically means a baby wolf. Overall, the language used in the lullaby doesn’t sounds so creepy as the translation. The story is still creepy tho 😂 but most lullabies across the world have a quite dark story...that is sang in a soothing melody to a child that doesn’t yet understand the words...quite intricate!

russia is probably the only country where a song about a wolf eating a baby is considered a lullaby epic
