Ой, то не вечер [Oi, to ne vecher] [English translation]

It's not the night yet, nor the evening.

I had a little sleep tonight.

Had a little sleep tonight,

I had a vision of my plight...

Had a little sleep tonight,

I had a vision of my plight...

I saw in my vivid dream,

That my trusty raven steed

Started playing, started dancing,

Oh, started sporting under me.

Started playing, started dancing,

Oh, started sporting under me.

But our captain had quick wits,

He deciphered my wild dreams.

And he said: the woe awaits [me],

You'll lose your brash head, it seems.

And he said: the woe awaits [me],

You'll lose your brash head, it seems.

Then the evil winds came roaring,

They came from the eastern side,

And they ripped off my black headdress

From the rowdy head in stride.

And they ripped off my black headdress

From the rowdy head in stride.

It's not the night yet, nor the evening.

I had a little sleep tonight.

Had a little sleep tonight,

I had a vision of my plight...
