Ой, печаль-тоска [Oi, pechal'-toska] [English translation]

Oh, anguish-sadness, oh sorrow

I'm married to you

I'm married to bitter fate

My love doesn't allow me to abate (the pain)

My pain is deep - you can't get the bottom (end) of it

My lover got married with an young girl

Dew turned to my tears

My dark blond plait fell on the ground

Rushnik that my mother presented to me fell down

I will never be able to become a wife

I'm standing on a hill and asking you -

Turbid river, take me (to drown)!

Again it seems that my chest is very small for my heart

Stribog started to sing a sad song

My heart shaked, felt the pain

My mortal body fell to the water.

In this river my Rod's soul

That live inside of me can't stand on bottom (rapid current)

Oh, anguish-sadness, oh sorrow

I'm married to you
