SONG 1

 

Hut is on the edge of village

Pine tree looks into its window

There's a maiden in that hut

But she lives so far away from here.

 

Dear pine tree, could you be so kind to tell me,

Why you grow so far away from here?

Tell me, please, my charming pine tree.

Dear pine tree, could you be so kind to tell me,

Why you grow so far away from here?

Tell me, please, my charming...

 

Please come to the lake, my lovely,

Pretty much I wanna see you

You've fascinated my poor heart

You've fascinated all my soul

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SONG2

 

Oh on the hill are two oak trees, (2x)

Oh on the hill are two oak trees, two oak trees )

They grew into one bunch. (2x)

 

The wind shakes the oak tree

The wind shakes the oak tree, shaking it,

The Kozak asks of the girl.

 

-- Oh, dear maiden, whose are you?

Oh dear maiden, whose are you, whose are you

will you go out with me?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SONG 3

Halya is carrying water

Yoke is bending

And behind her Ivanko

Is twining like periwinkle

 

Halyu, my dear Halyu

Give me some water to drink

You’re so beautiful

Let me just look at you

 

Water is in the source

Go and drink

 When I am in the garden

Come and look

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SONG 4

 

Oh, in the cherry or-chard,

A nightingale, is chattering.

I begged him so, to take me home,

Yet he would not- let me go.

 

Darling your're mine, and I am yours, I beg of you.

The stars appeared, do let me go.

Awaken will my mother and,

Will ask me then, where I've been.

 

And you my dear, can answer thus:

 How lovely is, this May night

Spring has come in, brought in it's beauty,

And in, that beauty, all things rejoice.(repeat last 2 lines)

 

 

 

 

SONG 5

 

Oh the green leaves, and the white flowers, /2

Oh the green leaves, and the white flowers... /

Oh how lonely when the evening does come. /2

 

Oh how lonely, how yet unpleasant,

Oh how lonely, how yet unpleasant:

I had loved a boy - so hard to forget.

 

I Loved a boy there for a half a year,

I Loved a boy there for a half a year,

Until the neighbors here had learned all about it.

 

When they learned of it - they spread it far and wide,

When they learned of it - they spread it far and wide,

God willing they know not of good fortune.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SONG 6

Let us unbridle, boys, the horses,

Go lay down, and take your rest.

Myself into, the orchard green I,

Go to dig, out a little well .

 

Chorus:

 

O Mary, one! two! three! kalyna, a lovely dark, haired maiden, has taken, berries in the woods. (2)

 

Digging, digging, a little well there,

in the orchard, that is green.

Will not the maiden girl come out then

early in the morning for some water ?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SONG 7

 

 

 

There was burning a pine tree,

Some girl was standing under it.

Some girl was standing under it,

Combing her hair and saying

 

Oh, you my poor blonde hair,

You served me long and everywhere

But will not serve me ever more,

Soon will be covered with a shawl,

 

With a white shawl and with a veil.

You'll never be a bridesmaid.

Covered with veil for ever times,

You'll never meet with any guys.

 

 

SONG 8

The thornbush blooms

Blooms the thornbush, Blooms the thornbush.

But it's shedding now, it's leaves. (blooms)

Who has not- yet, been in love-,)

Knows not what-, sorrow is. ) 2x

 

But yet I-, a young maiden,

Have- known, what sorrow is,

I have not yet, consumed, the evening,

Sleeping not-, throughout the night

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SONG 9

 

You said on Monday no drinking

We'll go together for periwinkle.

I had come, you're not around,

You've deceived me- let me down.

 

You have deceived me,

You have let me down,

You 've made young lad

Completely lose his mind.

 

You said on Tuesday will be fine

You gonna kiss me forty times,

I had come, you're not around,

You've deceived me- let me down.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SONG 10

Confess to me

Where you get those charms

Every day without you

Makes me a prisoner of Sadness

 

Maybe somewhere in woods

You sought magic herbs

You found the sun-gold ruta and put me under a spell

 

Chorus:

Do not seek the red flower

In the evenings

You’re the only one I have, believe me

For you beauty is crystal clear water,

Is the rushing water of the blue mountains

 

 

 

 

 

 

SONG 11

The rye is green, it is green

Green is the rye, it is green,

Fine guests I have with me.

The rye is green, the reapers reap,

My fine guests do wait for me

 

Green is the rye, it is green,

Fine guests I have with me.

The rye is green, by the furrow,

My fine guests are from my soul.

 

Green is the rye, it is green,

Fine guests I have with me.

The rye is green, beyound the village.

My fine guests sit at my table.

 

 

 

 

 

 

SONG 12

 

The pond sleeps, the winds do not russsel,

The wind in the willows has fallen asleep...

There plays somewhere a weeping guitar,

There a young maiden has met the spring.

 

You will ride out far - far away,

So far away from my village.

And the moon there beyond the clouds won't tell

That a lover had been there with him.

 

Where do you go - are you leaving me now,

You leave me alone by the pond,

And you never will bring me to mind,

With another you will meet the spring.

 

Oh don't cry, don't you worry, young maiden,

Oh don't cry, don't be sad, don't you wail,

In a year, when blooms the Kalyna,

In the quiet evening there do meet me.
