| «Ой, загулял казак» | Oh, A Cossack Went On A Bender |
| Ой, загулял-загулял казак Да бестыжие глаза Ай, на станице, ой, да на чужой. Гуляли козаченьки. Гуляли весёлые. Остановились на постой Ой, целовал-целовал казак Своей Любушки глаза. Хмельные речи жарко говорил. Была эта девушка Как бела лебёдушка. Ой, полюбил, он полюбил Ой, так знал, да казак тогда А дожидалася его беда Ай, налетело войско басурман. За Русь, за родимую За землю любимую А в бой повёл их атаман Ой, загорелася трава-земля Задымилися леса-поля А вражьи головы казак рубил! За милую Любушку Родную сторонушку Ой, да за всё, что он любил Ой, за победою пришёл казак Да не знаю как и рассказать: Изба сгорела, чёрная земля. А где-ж его Любушка Наверно лебёдушкой Умчалась в дальние края |
Oh, a Cossack and his shameless eyes Went on a drinking spree Ay, in a foreign stanitsa. Cossack girls were having fun. Merry ones were having fun. They stopped for a while Oh, the Cossack was kissing The eyes of his Lyubushka. He spoke drunken speeches passionately. This girl was As white as a swan. Oh, he fell in love, he fell in love Oh, the Cossack knew then That trouble was waiting for him. Ay, an army of infidels swooped down. And an ataman led them into battle For Rus', for homeland For his beloved land Oh, grass and earth caught fire Forests and fields began to smoke And the Cossack chopped off the enemy's heads! For his dear Lyubushka His native land Oh, and for everything he loved Oh, the Cossack came from victory But I do not know how to say it: The log hut had burnt down, there was black earth. Whereupon his Lyubushka Perhaps like a swan Had flown away to distant lands |
