Я спросил у ясеня [Ja sprosil u Jasenja] [English translation]

I came by an ash tree

To ask for my beloved one

Ash tree did not answer

Quaking with its head

I came by a poplar tree

To ask for my beloved one

Poplar tree dropped leaves on me

And turned away instead

I came by the autumn then

To ask for my beloved one

Autumn had responded

With rainy days ahead

I came to a rainy day

To ask for my beloved one

Rainy day was weeping with

Tears of the unsaid...

I came by the crescent moon

To ask for my beloved one

Half-moon drifted away from me

Behind the puffy cloud

I came to a puffy cloud

To ask for my beloved one

The cloud disappeared

Sorrowful and proud...

You are my one and only friend

Where is my beloved one?

Tell me if you only know

Help me, I am in chaos

Faithful friend replied to me

Genuine friend had answered me

There was a beloved one for you

There was a beloved one for you

There was a beloved one for you

She became my spouse

I came to ask an ash tree,

I came to ask a poplar tree

I came to ask the autumn then...
