Seelangers,

I am presently conducting research into Isaak Dunaevskii's film music of
the Stalinist period and have a question regarding the lullaby 'Son
prikhodit na porog' from Aleksandrov's Tsirk (1936). Can anyone identify
the Soviet languages in the following lyrics (I only have a copy of the
lyrics in Cyrillic - try Windows encoding):


'Ìèöíî, ìèöíî ñïè òû/ Ìèñÿö ïîçèõàå'

Òóëïàðûì øóíêûðûì,
Èíäå ñêëà ñèí-òûí.
Íà-íè-íà, íà-íè-íà,
Ãåíàöâàëå ïàòàðà.

Íàõò èç èöò ôóí ëàíä áèñ ëàíä.
Êèíä êåíñò ðóèíã øëàôåí.
Õóíäåðò âåíã, ôîèì ëàíä,
Àëëå ôàð äèð îôí.

I'm pretty sure that one of the languages is Georgian, but don't know which
one. And I haven't a clue about the other two.

Thanks for any help,
Stewart Dallas.
