Szuz Maria várja, várja, aludjonel Jezuskaja.

English translation:Christmas carol
Explanation:
I can give it a try, but I acnnot promise any rhyming:

Virgin Mary is waiting and waiting for her little Jesus to fall asleep,
She embraces him with her virgin arms and warms him with her charming face,
Sleep well, my little saint, a star is coming on the sky,
Wise men follow its path and await your blessing,
Sleep well, my little happiness, dew is shining on every treebranch,
Your tiny body is weak, yet, you will have the earth and the sky.


You don't need to pay just make sure you enter the "grade".

Merry Xmas!

  -> In a Christmas context it must be "carol". Otherwise "lullaby" is OK as well.
