V lesu rodilas elochka - The Forest Raised a Christmas Tree
It is traditional Christmas song for children, which has become very popular. Many people think it is a folk song. But author of song is Raisa Kudasheva, teacher, librarian and poet. who wrote poems, tales and songs for children. In 1905 the poem was set to music by an amateur composer Leonid Beckmann (scientist-agronomist by profession, ) who wrote this song for his daughter.
The forest raised a Christmas tree,
‘Twas silent and serene
In winter and in summer
It was slender and so green.
The wind sang it a lullaby:
Sleep Christmas tree, sleep tight!
The snow was making clothes for it:
It was a pretty sight!
A trembling bunnyt himself
Beneath its arms so wide;
The hungry wolf just passed him by -
A lovely place to hide!
Some sleigh bells rang throughout the woods,
The snow was crisp and clean,
A horsey brought a forester
To hew that tree so green.
And now it comes to visit us,
With lights and garlands bright,
While all the children dance and sing
To greet it with delight!
