Черемшина [Cheremshina] [English translation]

Again cuckoo’s voice is heard in the forest

Swallows made a nest in the roof

Shepherd is driving a herd by the mountain path

The nightingale piping a song behind the coppice

Приспів:

The bird cherry tree is flourishing everywhere

The viburnum dressed like is going to get married

In the garden the shepherd

In the quiet corner

The girl is waiting for, waiting for

She was getting to the garden near the black poplars

She was lost in admiration of the high mountains

Where pure dew is dropping from the birches

And she putted the viburnum ’s blossom into her hair

Приспів.

The sun is going down the skyline

From the mountain valley the shepherd is singing to her

I’ll come to you, after the herd

Will be driven in after the watering

Приспів.

Here’s the evening, sheep are near the ford

And drinking water from the Cheremosh stream

In the garden shepherd is waited

By a girl, who loves him
