Smuglianka (Une Brune Moldave)

Kak-to letom na rassvete
Zaglianul v sosednij sad
Tam smuglianka-moldavanka
Sobirala vinograd
Ia bledneiu ia krasneiu
Zakhotelos vdrug skazat
Stanem nad rekoiu
Zorki letnie vstrechat!
Raskudriavyj klen zelenyj list reznoj
Ia vliublennyj i smushchennyj pred toboj
Klen zelenyj da klen kudriavyj
Da raskudriavyj reznoj
A smuglianka-moldavanka
Otvechala parniu v lad
Partizanskij moldavanskij
Sobiraem my otriad
Nynche rano partizany
Dom pokinuli rodnoj
Zhdet tebia doroga
K partizanam v les gustoj
Raskudriavyj klen zelenyj list reznoj
Zdes u klena my rasstanemsia s toboj
Klen zelenyj da klen kudriavyj
Da raskudriavyj reznoj
I smuglianka moldavanka
Po tropinke v les ushla
V tom obidu ia uvidel
Chto s soboj ne pozvala
O smuglianke-moldavanke
Chasto dumal po nocham
Vskore vnov smuglianku
Ia v otriade povstrechal
Raskudriavyj klen zelenyj list reznoj
Zdravstvuj paren zabubennyj moj rodnoj
Klen zelenyj da klen kudriavyj
Da raskudriavyj reznoj

Smuglianka (The Moldavian Smuggler)

One summer morning at dawn,
I peeked into the neighboring garden.
There, a Moldavian smuggler girl,
Was gathering grapes.
I paled, I blushed,
Suddenly wanting to say,
"Let's stand by the river,
To meet the bright summer stars!"
The tousled maple, its green leaves carved,
I am in love and embarrassed before you.
Green maple, oh curly maple,
Tousled and carved.
And the Moldavian smuggler girl,
Answered the boy in tune,
"The Moldavian partisan,
We are gathering a detachment.
Today, early, the partisans,
Left their native home.
A road awaits you,
To the partisans in the dense forest."
Tousled maple, its green leaves carved,
Here by the maple, we will part ways with you.
Green maple, oh curly maple,
Tousled and carved."
And the Moldavian smuggler girl,
Went down the path into the forest.
That afternoon, I saw,
That she didn't invite me along.
About the Moldavian smuggler girl,
I often thought at night.
Soon again, the smuggler girl,
I met in the detachment.
Tousled maple, its green leaves carved,
"Hello, my dear drummer boy,"
Green maple, oh curly maple,
Tousled and carved."
