THE WATERFALL

ВОДОГРАЙ

(Українська народна пісня)

 

Listen to the song

 

Flows the water, it flows swiftly,

But where – it knows not,

Between the mountains, into the wide world

It flows, not returning.

We shall meet you

(We’ll go into pure waters)

Here by the waterfalls,

And we’ll ask him oh so sincerely,

That he would play for us there.

Refrain:

Oh water – waterfall, play for us, play…

Your lively dance don’t stop – do continue so

For a lovely song there in all voices,

Whatever you want, oh waterfall, you just ask.

Your strings, every spring does give to you

The bright autumn gifts, the sounds of bells.

And we will play upon there your string –

Let them resound forth a joyous smile.

 

Oh do look, how the grey cliffs are

Struck by the water, sparkling out,

Make for me from these here droplets

A star bright necklace.

Better yet I’ll gather the springs

And from them make cymbals,

That for you, my maiden beloved,

They beautifully played.
