/ Pri dalyinushkye stayala kalinu lamala /

/ Na darozhinku brasala druga vazvrasala /

/ Varatyisya moy lyubyezni varatyisya syertse /

/ Ni varotyisha moy mili hatya aglyinyisya /

/ Ni aglyanyisha moj mili makhni hot rukoyu /
Makhni pravayu rukoyu shlyapay puhavoyu
A white-faced, round-faced beautiful girl
Stood by a valley, broke a guilder-rose.

She threw it on the road to return to her friend.

Come back, my beloved, come back, my heart.

My darling did not come back, but looked back.

Don't just look back, my darling, but wave your hand.

Wave your right hand with your fur hat.
