Resistance
Don't rustle, meadow,Green forest!
Don't cry, don't grieve,
Young Cossack!
I'm not crying myself
Brown eyes cry,
That there is no peace
Neither day nor night.
Close neighbors
Are bitter enemies:
They won't let me walk about
And love my girl.
But I will walk
And I will love
I'll take her with me
I will live with her!
You can’t take it all away
You can’t take away my day
You can’t trample on my pride
You can’t make me run and hide
Hey hey!
You can’t penetrate my heart
You can’t break it all apart
You can’t stop the summer breeze
You can’t bring me to my knees
Hey hey! Hey hey!
Don't rustle, meadow,
Green forest!
Don't cry, don't grieve,
Young Cossack!
I'm not crying myself
Brown eyes cry,
That there is no peace
Neither day nor night.
Close neighbors
Are bitter enemies:
They won't let me walk about
And love my girl.
But I will walk
And I will love
I'll take her with me
I will live with her!
You can’t smash me on the door
You can’t press me on the floor
You can’t terrorize or tease me
You can never crush or squeeze me
Hey hey!
You can’t silence all my voices
You can’t take away my choices
You can’t make me sing your tune
You can’t steal the sun and moon
Hey hey! Hey hey!
'Well, bye for now', I say in parting,
'Bye, life!
Farewell', I say to those who remain
To live on,
'Well, bye', - I say to Earth and Water
'Bye for now, I'll be back'...
And I stepped over the edge.
Don't rustle, meadow,
Green forest!
Don't cry, don't grieve,
Young Cossack!
I'm not crying myself
Brown eyes cry,
That there is no peace
Neither day nor night.
