Чубчик [Chubchik] [English translation]

Forelocky, forelocky,1a curly forelock

May you flutter, forlocky in the wind

I loved you, forelocky, before

But I cannot forget you now

I used to put a cap at the back of my head

And walk out at day or evening hours

And the forelock would flutter from under the cap

Hey, it would flutter in the the wind

Springtime will pass, summer will come

The trees in the garden will be growing wild and beautiful

But I, a poor-poor boy,

Will be chained hand and foot.2

I am a po-po-poor boy

Hey, I will be chained hand and foot.

But I'm not afraid of Siberia3

Because the Siberia is also Russian land

Hey, flutter, flutter, you curly forelock

Flutter forelock, in the wind

Yet, flutter, flutter, curly forelock

Hey, flutter forelock, in the wind

1. I mean "A little forelock" ;)2. Obviously, this is a prisoner's song.3. Siberia was a traditional region for exile in Russia.
