What is sung in Russian lullaby?



On a gray top

Remember, "there will come a gray top and bite for a flank"?

The wolf at all times was the personification of cruelty and deceit, but at the same time was a symbol of courage and bravery.

However in this song it is not about the beast, and an ancient sacred object that symbolized the eternal cycle of life and the constancy of the world in this constantly moving life.

Later, this subject became a children's toy – "the top", the rotation of which can be monitored for hours. His measured and quiet "dance" like the calming rhythm of a lullaby, which brings the magic of peace.

By the way, good to sing a lullaby could not everyone. In Russia even was a saying: "Not everyone is able to bikati". Little girls age 6-7 started to study this art, in the role of nurses have younger brothers and sisters.

 

Cats cat, perhaps the main character of children's lullabies. And this is no accident. In the minds of the people the cat represented the fire element, or the soul. In many people's beliefs, she appeared as the seer that cannot be seen man.

For example, it was a cat, according to our ancestors communicated with house and strongly urge them to the good path, were not allowed to misbehave and hurt the owners. The cat was not only able to communicate with the spirits, but to expel them if necessary. Hence the well-known superstition about the need to put in a new house cat, who before the advent of the masters should be banished from the homes of various spirits.

The animals were valued for their ability to destroy the rodents that constantly threatened stocks of grain. The devastation of the barn led to one of the most terrible trials – hunger.

The cat, by the way, put in the new cradle before you drop it in the baby. Here in such "disinfecting properties of" animal believed by our ancestors.

 

Flew gulenki Pigeons – another frequent guest of Russian lullaby. Bird has always been a symbol of the pilgrim soul, which, in spite of everything, definitely going back.

One pigeon is similar to a cat. They both can produce surprisingly peaceful sounds – cooing and purring, the sounds that are born as if somewhere deep down, merge with a lullaby and go up to the Lord – in this, at least, wanted to believe our ancestors.





Prosperous life

A number of lullabies narrated about prosperity and abundance, carrying the wish of a future happy life to the child. Of course, because of the good wishes so easily to come true the dream.

Often in these songs was drawn in summary form, all life is still a tiny man. Appeared here and paraphernalia, which has always been sacred for the Russian people – bread, porridge, cakes, rolls, pancakes, and grain, which symbolized the resurrection. "Buried" in the ground, it gave the germ and the beginning of a new life.

 

The good dreamer and the bad-ass These creatures are present in the baby's life from the earliest times. The horned creature Beech, ready to bring the child for disobedience into the world of the evil spirits mentioned in the lullaby, but in a peculiar way – he was sent, for example, in the barn or instructed to perform some work.

The mother has always been a protector of the child from the beeches. Methods of protection was simple and child-friendly – broom in my mother's hands could work miracles.

Lullabies are rather called to ward off the unseen creatures unlike those that attracted the good essence – the patron Saint of Slumber.

Interestingly, a little later, the mysterious Beech was replaced by the overseas bird – a parrot that was able, apparently, to catch up with no less terror to the child than the horned spirit.

 

Death wish found among a lullaby and a very unusual song, which modern people seem blasphemous, and terrible. The child wish death or in all colors describe the baby as he will be buried.

Today to calm the nerves, we should remember that our ancestors had an entirely different attitude to death – for them it was a matter of habit. "God willing, we are alive, and God willing, we die," they reasoned.

Knowing that Death comes where you least expect it, the mother tried to deceive the Old lady, after all, where it is constantly say it is come to wait. The wish of death here is a way to ward off or to cheat Death.

 

Little journey Lullaby was not only a way to lull the baby, but also a great option to tell him about the world, which he has not yet seen. Hence often in Russian lullaby appears the motive of the journey, as well as mention of the elements – wind, rain.

Often the song had a ring structure. The wind started the journey from the threshold of their own house, flew around the world and back in bassinet to toddler. In addition, the wind connects the earth and the heavens, and he is able in this case to convey the song-prayer to God. Often the wind was made in the image of a nanny, which helps to rock the baby. And no wonder – under the howling winds and blizzards outside the window next to the warm stove so sweet to sleep.published
