O Mary
Versions: #1Let us unbridle, boys, the horses,
Go lay down, and take your rest.
Myself into, the orchard green I,
Go to dig, out a little well .
Chorus:
O Mary, one! two! three! kalyna, a lovely dark, haired maiden, has taken, berries in the woods. (2)
Digging, digging, a little well there,
in the orchard, that is green.
Will not the maiden girl come out then
early in the morning for some water ?
Chorus:...
Came out, came out, did the maiden,
early to get water in the morning.
And behind her, there a Kozak,
Leads his horse -, out to bathe. (water)
He asks, and begs her for a pail,
And she refuses to give him one.
He gifts, he gives a ring in hand then,
she takes it not, refusing him.
I know, I know, oh my dear girl,
how now -, I embittered you.
For in the evening, yesterday I,
Chatted up, yet another girl
(loved another better than you)
O In her height, she's not too tall,
yet in years, she still is young.
A blond braid, way down to her waist,
With ribbons blue - in her braid.
