Swadźba [English translation]

Chorus:

Sad song is carried

By the wind whistling through the woods

About love of two people

Whose two hearts were joined by fate,

About love of two people

Whose two hearts were joined by fate.

It joined the two hearts,

Fulfilled them with happiness

But it let them enjoy the happiness

Only for a brief moment.

But it let them enjoy the happiness

Only for a brief moment.

Verse:

One day it all ended,

Though the husband was ready to give his wife everything.

He would also give his life in need,

Although mutuality was long gone.

She betrayed her husband giving to another

What was intended for him.

She broke his heart, she stomped it to dust,

She destroyed the feeling like in some kind of madness.

Singing:

Is there something as beautiful

As love in this world?

Something as cruel

As treachery in this world?

Is there something as beautiful

As love in this world?

Something as cruel

As treachery in this world?

Verse:

Did evil forces possessed her?

Or did some disease touch her?

Or rather wickedness and knavery

were hiding in her soul all this time?

That is not known to the old gods,

Not to wise men, even to evil demons.

One thing is certain - that the happiness of both

Has ended for them once and for all.

Chorus:

Sad song is carried

By the wind whistling through the woods

About love of two people

Whose two hearts were joined by fate,

About love of two people

Whose two hearts were joined by fate.

It joined the two hearts,

Fulfilled them with happiness

But it let them enjoy the happiness

Only for a brief moment.

But it let them enjoy the happiness

Only for a brief moment.
