Don Kosaken Chor Russland - Moscow Festival Ensemble 



Rozprjagajet, chlopzi, koni (Lads, unharness the horses) 

Lads, unharness the horses,
lie down and take some rest,
but I am going into the green
garden to dig a hole for a well.

And oh! the well that I dug was
in the middle of a cherry orchard.
I hoped that a girl would come
to draw water early in the morning.

She came, the girl came out
in the early morning to draw water,
behind her came a Cossack leading his
horse to give it a drink.

I know, I know already, little maid,
why it was that I annoyed you
yesterday evening, after all,
I spoke to the other girl.

Lads, unharness the horses;
you have rested long enough;
let us drive into the wide steppes
to fight for glory and freedom.



A Russian Souvenir (Kalinka)

I.
Our heroes march over the
battle ground, the heroes of our army.
The girls weep, yes, they feel sad;
their lovers have gone away
for a long time, gone with the army.

II.
A soldier"s lament looking back
to the happy evenings in Moscow.

III.
My snow ball shrub (Kalinka),
My snow ball  shrub,
Under the green pine-tree
They lay me to rest
Aj juli, aj juli, juli
They lay me to rest.
