Translated into English 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. Translated into alphabetRoman Oy khodyt' son, kolo vikon. A drimota kolo plota.

Background Information: ● I used the haunting Ukrainian Lullaby "Oy khodyt son kolo vikon" (The Dream passes by the window) ● The first verse is sung with the Ukrainian text. (mm.3-10)

After the first verse, the choir joins for the repeat of the verse. (mm.11-18) I created new music (beginning m.19), and adapted the English verses to tell the original story. At m. 58, the Ukrainian melody is overlaid above the new music. At the end of the piece (m.66), I incorporated the Ukrainian text of the last two lines of verse 3. (Spaty, spaty, sokol'yatko, Spaty, spaty, holubyatko.)
Original language, translation, and transliteration taken from Wikipedia: Ukrainian Ой ходить сон, коло вікон. А дрімота коло плота. Питається сон дрімоти: "Де ж ми будем ночувати?" Де хатонька теплесенька, Де дитина малесенька, Туди підем ночувати, І дитинку колисати. Там ми будем спочивати, І дитинку присипляти: Спати, спати, соколятко, Спати, спати, голуб'ятко.[3]
