Bezelea/Bezlea/Bežlėja/Žlėja

The sun goes to bed, now it is twilight,
the way prepared by star of evening,
and the dusk descends on all, wrong or right.
Rest, sleep, it is time for quiet doing,
time for away putting and down shutting,
even the sun is going to lay down.
The light from the sky is softly fading,
the stars are coming out, each in a crown
shining pale over the forest and town.
Ah, Goddess of the evening, I pray
for protection, kneeling in my nightgown;
keep us safe into the night for the day
comes again soon enough - let us rest well
and keep peace in all of the places that we dwell.
