"Under the green willow" (N. Verevkin / folk)

Under the green willow,
The wounded Cossack lay.
Oh, under the green one,
The wounded Cossack lay.

A raven-bird flew to him,
He began to croak over the bush.
Oh, not a bird - a black raven,
Feeling a tasty morsel.

"Don't croak, black raven
Over my head.
Oh, you black raven.
I am still alive Cossack!

Fly please, black raven,
Home to my father and mother.
And give my bloody handkerchief,
To my young wife.

Tell her, black raven,
That I've married another.
That I found a bride,
In a wide field beyond the river!

The wedding was peaceful,
Under the willow bush,
Oh, peaceful, quiet,
Under the willow bush.

My sharp sabre was the matchmaker,
My bayonet was the best man.
Oh, my sharp sabre,
My bayonet was the best man.

The bullet married (pozhenila) us quickly,
Mother earth married (obvenchala) us.
Oh, the bullet quickly,
Mother earth married us!"
