Examples from texts

Its mouth yawned in a silent hiss, displaying four pairs of fangs-two on top, two on the bottom. She took the snake up, crooning to it.
Пасть раскрылась в безмолвном шипении, открыв четыре пары зубов, две - наверху, две -внизу Старуха достала змею из ниши, что-то ей ласково нашептывая.

Suddenly one of the legs scratched at the stage, the arms became wings, and, with a crooning and cackling, Auntie Sofier metamorphosed into a peevish hen protecting an egg.
Неожиданно она заскребла ногой сцену, руки превратились в крылья, и, закудахтав, тетушка Софи превратилась в настоящую курицу-наседку над яйцом.

As hard as the times. She crooned one of her mother's lullabies, closing her ears to the voices, rocking back and forth again, but this time the burden was in her heart, not in her arms.
Она затыкала уши и, обхватив себя руками, каталась по земле и выводила колыбельные, которые прежде пела ее мать, но боль, поселившаяся внутри, никак не отпускала.

"The man I murdered used to stop me on the street when I was twenty-one, pick me up in his arms, kiss my brow, croon wildly to me, sing Rock-a-bye Baby, haul me into meat markets, toss me on the scales and cry, 'Watch it.
Я убил человека, когда мне исполнился двадцать один год. Он издевался надо мной: останавливал на улице, поднимал на руки, чмокал в лоб и баюкал, напевая "баюшки-баю".
