Як ішов я вчора [Yak ishov ya vchora] [English translation]

As I was walking yesterday evening the moon was shining high.

My sweetheart was watching through the window whether I moved far away.

I walked a couple of steps and she cried behind me

"Oh, come back my dear blossom. How have I provoked your wrath?

Will you believe, behind our field boundary there's a lot of greenery.

Someone was courting me there, neither single, nor a widower."

Mother, my dear, I won't marry him.

I won't give him my hand even if I never get married.

As I was walking yesterday evening the moon was shining high.

My sweetheart was watching through the window whether I moved far away.
