Solovey

I walked in the valleyOi khodyla ya v dolynu
Through the red viburnumPo chervonuiu kalynu
I walked in the valleyOi khodyla ya v dolynu
Through the red viburnumPo chervonuiu kalynu
I gathered little flowersNazbyrala kvitochok
Weaved them into a wreathZaplitala v vinochok
Weaved them into a wreathZaplitala v vinochok

Rue and basilRutu i barvinochok
And here comes VaniushaA do mene Vaniusha
Hurrying from the groveIz za haiu pospisha
And here comes VaniushaA do mene Vaniusha
You're a good girl, Katrusia!Ty Katrusia khorosha!

My KatrusiaMyla moia Katrusia
I love youYa z toboiu liubliusia
I love youYa z toboiu liubliusia
Until your mother finds outPoky ne zna matusia

Nightingale, nightingale, don't sing so earlySolovey, solovey ne spivai ranenko
My heart is not cheerful againA meni na serdenku znov ne veselenko
Nightingale, nightingale, oh how should I beSolovey, solovey oi yak meni buty
I tried to love him, but couldn't forgetVmila yoho poliubyty ne vmila zabuty

If I didn't knowYakby ya toho ne znala
I wouldn't have cursed youYa b z toboiu ne huliala
I wouldn't have walked in the valleyNe khodyla dolynu
Wouldn't have broken the viburnumNe lamala b kalynu
I love youYa z toboiu liubliusia
Until your mother finds outPoky ne zna matusia
And when she does, we'll partA yak uzna matusia, to roziidemosia

Don't sing so earlyNe spivai ranenko
Not cheerful againZnov ne veselenko
Oh how should I beOi yak meni buty
