Засвіт встали козаченьки [Zasvit vstaly kozachenʹky] [English translation]

The Cossacks woke up before daybreak

Marching out from midnight,

Marusya cried her BRiGht eyes out

Do not cry, Marusya,

Do not cry, do not worry

But do say a prayer to God for your loved one

The moon is sitting above the hill,

And there is no sun...

A mother is sending her son on a journey with tears

Good bye my dear son

And do not linger

In 4 weeks

come back home!

Oh do not cry, do not worry

Do not fall into dispair

My black as raven horse is rearing up

Do expect us to return!

The Cossacks woke up before daybreak

Marching out from midnight,

Marusya cried her BRiGht eyes out
