lyrics

6. Народная
Ай-да во поле цветики цветут.
Ай-да по морю корабли плывут.
Волки во лесу,
Козы на лугу,
Всякий там и есть,
Где должно быть ему.

Ай-да по дорожке девонька идет.
Хорошу ту девка песенку поет –
Про цветики красные,
Про пути напрасные,
Про любовь прекрасную,
Про печаль свою…

“Ой да ты, долюшка-доля,
Ой да пожалей меня девку,
Да сбереги от неволи,
Счастием не обдели.
Ой да, судьба моя, доля-долюшка,
Ой да не пошли ты мне горюшка,
Да сбереги от худой молвы.
Без веры не оставляй.”

Хорошо той девке по лесу идти,
Не смотрит девчонка, что там впереди.
Клены обнимает, грибочки собирает
И продолжает петь песенки свои.

In the Field

In the field the flowers bloom,
In the sea the ships sail.
The wolves are in the woods,
The lambs are in the meadows.
Everyone is where they should be.

Along the road, a young girl is walking.
She is singing a fine song –
A song about pretty flowers,
About futile journeys,
About beautiful love.
About her sadness.

“Hey my dear destiny,
Please be kind to me,
Protect me from ill will,
And don’t spare me happiness.
Hey, my fate,
Please don’t give me grief,
Save me from evil,
And don’t leave me without faith.”

The girl is happy to walk along the road –
She is not looking what’s ahead.
Touching trees, picking mushrooms,
She keeps singing her songs.
