Масленица [Maslenitsa] [English translation]

In a field, in a field

We said goodbye to the winter.

We gave present to the spring.

Throw Marena's chains to the fire!

Red sun, rise up!

Yarilo, warm our houses!

Wake up Rus' out of sleep,

Give powers to young people!

Perun The God, get up,

Take your powerful hammer!

Melt ice in the rivers

That the freeze get away from Rus'!

Hey, maslenitsa - blinitsa

Let have a party!

Hey, Motherland Russia

We are going to marry you with the spring.

In the field, in the field

My (our) brother burnt (effigy) of Mara

And threw sacrifice for Svarozhech

In the holy fire.

We bowed to Gods' effigies

The party will be all night long!

The night is shorter than the day

In this day of solstice.
