Ой, то не вечер [Oi, to ne vecher] [English translation]

Oh, it was not a night, not a night,

Oh, I've had scarcely any sleep, any sleep.

I've had scarcely any sleep...

Oh, I dreamed sleeping of what's to come.

In my dream, I saw

As though my black as raven horse

Was raging, dancing,

Oh, frolicing under me.

Oh, just as evil winds came,

From the western side,

And they threw off the black cap

Oh from my brash head.

And the corporal has sharp mind,

He unriddled my dream.

Oh, he said, your brash head

Will not live for long.

Oh, it was not a night, not a night,

Oh, I've had scarcely any sleep, any sleep.

I've had scarcely any sleep...

Oh, I dreamed sleeping of what's to come.
