Черемшина [Cheremshina] [English translation]

Again the voice of cuckoo in the forest,

Build their nest under the roof the swallows.

The shepherd drives the flock along the mountain trail,

Chirped it's song behind the grove the nightingale

Chorus:

The bird-cherry blossom lushly everywhere

The guelder rose is dressed in bridal wear.

For the shepherd all alone,

In the garden's quiet corner,

The maiden wait and wait.

Past the poplars she was walking to the garden,

On the mountains she gazed all of a sudden,

From the birches pure dew is falling there,

The guelder rose blossom in her hair.

Chorus:

The sun over horizon sitting down.

The shepherd song from mountain valley sounds:

-I will come to you when work is done

The sheep are watered and safely in the barn.

Chorus:

The evening has come, the flock is home and safe

Drinking *Cheremosh cold water by the wade,

In the garden the shepherd meets tonight

The maiden that loves him more than life.
