Na Retshke [На речке, на речке] [English translation]

By the river, by the river

Marusenka (1) soaped her white legs

Marusenka soaped up her white legs

White feet, and azure blue eyes

White feet and azure blue eyes

There sailed to Marusenka gray geese

(INTERLUDE)

Gray geese sailed to Marusenka

Hush, don't you fly away, don't stir the water

Don't stir the water, don't wake my father-in-law

Cause Marusenka's father in-law might scold

Yes Marusenka's father in-law might scold

He threw a big tantrum and his wife she rebuked him

(INTERLUDE)

With whom, o Maruska, did you walk all night ?

With whom did you walk, until you met daybreak ?

Where are you, Marusenka, I walked very far

I walked very far, to the one that I loved

Walked very far, to the one that I loved

To the one that I loved, forever forgotten

(OUTRO)
