Yo ho, brothers, yo ho!
Once on a high bank ofThe mountain river Terek
Forty thousand horses were
Driven by Cossaks.
And then the bank's been covered,
Then the bank's been covered
With the hundreds human bodies
Badly cutted, shot and dead.
Yo ho, brothers, yo ho! Yo ho, life is fine!
Our Cossak captain never let the fun to die!
(x2 times)
So, about the bullet,
'bout the first bullet:
The crazy whistling bullet
Has hit my horse to its leg.
And the second bullet,
And the second bullet,
Second bullet, brothers,
Has wounded me too bad.
Yo ho, brothers, yo ho! Yo ho, life is fine!
Our Cossak captain never let the fun to die!
(x2 times)
My wife will start weeping,
And then will get remarried,
She will married to my pal,
Forgot about me.
I feel the only pity
On my free nitty-gritty
I feel sorry for my mom
and for my battle dun.
Yo ho, brothers, yo ho! Yo ho, life is fine!
Our Cossak captain never let the fun to die!
(x2 times)
The blonde curls of mine,
Shining eyes of mine
Will be overgrown
With wormwood and chaff weeds.
And white bones of mine
And the brave heart of mine
Kites and ravens will have carried
So far away.
Yo ho, brothers, yo ho! Yo ho, life is fine!
Our Cossak captain never let the fun to die!
(x2 times)
Cossak captain knows
Whom to count on in to.
They've cried out a command
But forgot about myself.
Now, they're free and merry,
Obtaining loot and honoring
And all I got is a ground hot,
Dusting in a wind.
Yo ho, brothers, yo ho! Yo ho, life is fine!
Our Cossak captain never let the fun to die!
