Ah you, dear, beautiful girl,
Let's go for a walk together,
Let's go for a walk together
Along the Volga River.
Eh, let everybody look at us and guess:
"Who are they, this pair?
Either a husband with his wife
Or a brother with his sister,
That young guy with the beautiful girl!"
We'll go to the green meadow
And pluck flowers to make a wreath.
There I'll tell you about my love for you
That makes my heart suffer,
That makes my heart suffer,
That makes it burn like fire.
translated by Natalia Chernega
