Bilia Topoli

Zoloti luhy
Vedut' u nebokray
I sumno na vkruhy,
Topolya, topolya pokhylylasya.
Tam stari bat'ky
Zaplakani stoyat',
Proshchaty bulo yim syna,
A vin heroyem stav.
Molodyy yunak,
Molodyy kozak.
Tam, bilya topoli kalyna roste,
Mameni ochi chekayut' tebe.
Tsyla u rozpachi plache,
Tsyna vse chekaye,
Ta v Boha vzhe yoho dusha.
Mam, ya v boyu za volyu pishov v dalechin',
Za pravdu i dolyu novykh pokolin',
Za tykh, khto u mori daleko
I krylamy leleku povernut'tsya zhyvi.
Tykho na dvori,
I til'ky chuty yak,
Yak materi slova
Letily, letily v nich do kozaka.
Bachysh synu miy,
Svichka ne z·hasa,
Do viku bude vzhe hority,
Horityme vona.
Molodyy yunak,
Molodyy kozak.
Tam, bilya topoli kalyna roste,
Mameni ochi chekayut' tebe.
Tsyla u rozpachi plache,
Tsyna vse chekaye,
Ta v Boha vzhe yoho dusha.
Mam, ya v boyu za volyu pishov v dalechin',
Za pravdu i dolyu novykh pokolin',
Za tykh, khto u mori daleko
I krylamy leleku povernut'tsya zhyvi.
Rik vzhe promynuv,
Pryyshla nova vesna,
A spokoyu v dushi ne bulo,
Ne bulo nu i vzhe nema.
Tam bat'ko zmuchenyy
Sam toruye shlyakh,
Po n'omy mav ity syn yoho,
A yoho vzhe nema.
Molodyy yunak,
Molodyy kozak.

Poplars by the Creek

Golden meadows
Reach to the horizon
And sadness all around,
Poplar, a poplar has bent down.
There, old parents
Stand weeping
Bidding their son farewell,
And he became a hero
A young lad
A young Cossack.
Over there, by the poplar tree a viburnum grows
Mom's eyes keep looking for you.
Your wife is grieving
Your daughter keeps waiting
But your soul is with God now.
Mom, I went far away to fight for freedom
For the truth and prosperity of future generations
For those who are far away on the sea
To return alive, on the wings of a stork.
It's quiet in the yard
And you can only hear
How words of your mother
Flew, flew in them to the Cossack.
You see my son,
The candle isn't blown out
It will burn forever
It will burn on.
A young lad
A young Cossack.
Over there, by the poplar tree a viburnum grows
Mom's eyes keep looking for you.
Your wife is grieving
Your daughter keeps waiting
But your soul is with God now.
Mom, I went far away to fight for freedom
For the truth and prosperity of future generations
For those who are far away on the sea
To return alive, on the wings of a stork.
A year has passed
A new spring has come
But there was no peace in my soul,
And there is none now.
There, an exhausted father
Paves the way himself,
His son was to walk along it,
But he is gone.
A young lad
A young Cossack.
Over there, by the poplar tree a viburnum grows
Mom's eyes keep looking for you.
Your wife is grieving
Your daughter keeps waiting
But your soul is with God now.
Mom, I went far away to fight for freedom
For the truth and prosperity of future generations
For those who are far away on the sea
