Червона Рута [Chervona Ruta] [English translation]

Please, confess it to me

Where you’ve got these charms from

Without you I have been

In deep day and night sorrow

What if here, in these woods,

You looked out for the philtre

Golden ruta you found

And put your spell right on me

Chervona ruta

Please, don’t seek it by evenings

You’re the one that I want

The only one, believe.

All of your beauty

Is like pure spring water

Like a-streaming blue water

From the hills

I see you in my dreams.

In green groves of oak

You are coming to me

Along paths long forgotten

You don’t have to get me

That red flower of hope

‘Cause it’s you who’s long been

Part of my dreams of love

Chervona ruta

Please, don’t seek it by evenings

You’re the one that I want

The only one, believe.

All of your beauty

Is like pure spring water

Like a-streaming blue water

From the hills

Like a-streaming blue water

From the hills
