About this song
A traditional Ukrainian lullaby in which a soft grey cat is gently asked not to wake the sleeping child. One of the most cherished Ukrainian cradle songs, with a calm, soothing melody.
How to do it (Step by step)
- Sing very softly while rocking your baby.
- Stroke baby's back slowly like a gentle cat.
- Keep the room dim and your voice low.
Lyrics & Rhyme
Котику сіренький,
Котику біленький,
Котку волохатий,
Не ходи по хаті,
Не ходи по хаті,
Не буди дитяти.
Дитя буде спати,
Котик — воркотати.
Ой на кота воркота,
На дитинку дрімота.
А-а-а-а! А-а-а-а!
