Ой не світи, місяченьку [Oy ne svity, misyachenku] [English translation]

Oh do not shine, there my dear moon,

Don't you shine for no one else,

Just shine here for my beloved,

As he journeys homeward!

As he journeys homeward.

Shine for him there in the early morning,

And yet chase away the clouds,

But if he has already found another,

Do then hide behind the clouds!

Then do hide there behind the clouds.

Shone the moon, shone he brightly,

Then he hid behind a cloud,

And I, a poor girl, weep so bitterly -

He betrayed me, my beloved.

My beloved's betrayed me.
