English Lullaby for Tayа (Trio)

[Style: soft lullaby, warm female vocal, intimate, slow tempo ~70 BPM, gentle piano + ambient pads, emotional, tender pronunciation] [Pronunciation note: "Taya" = "TAH-yah" (stress on first syllable, like Russian Та́я)] [Verse 1] Snow drifts down on the city tonight, The night sings along, soft and light. Why aren’t you sleeping, my little star TAH-yah? Sleep now, my darling, hush-a-bye. [Verse 2] The cats and the mice are asleep in their beds, The sun, dolls and books rest their heads. See, I am closing my eyes too, my TAH-yah, Drifting off slowly… hush-a-bye. [Verse 3] Once we were small, just the same as you, Years will roll on and you’ll grow too. You’ll hold your own daughter and sing to her, swaying: “Hush-a-bye… hush-a-bye…” [Verse 4] Deep in its snowdrift, the house is asleep, The hands of the clock slow their sweep. Close your small eyes now, I’ll rock you, my TAH-yah… Hush-a-bye… hush my TAH-yah…
