An arrow, do not fly over a town
Oh luh oh luh-lih, over a town
Oh, the arrow, do not beat a good guy
Oh luh oh luh-lih, a good guy
There isn't anybody to cry for the good guy
Oh luh oh luh-lih, isn't anybody to cry
(He has) old mother and little sister
Oh luh oh luh-lih, little sister
(He has) little sister and young wife
Oh luh oh luh-lih, young wife
Oh, the arrow flew to the village
Oh luh oh luh-lih, to the village
Oh, it killed the good guy
Oh luh oh luh-lih, the good guy
In place where mother cried - a well appeared
Oh luh oh luh-lih, a well appeared
In place where sister cried - a brook Oh luh oh luh-lih, began to flow
In place where wife cried - a dew appeared
Oh luh oh luh-lih, a dew appeared
Sun will come, the dew will dry
Oh luh oh luh-lih, the dew will dry
And the young wife will marry again
Oh luh oh luh-lih, will marry again
