In A Glade lyrics

(ukrainian lyrics - courtesy of orysia t.)


Tam v haiu, pry dunaiu, solovi shchebeche (2)
Vin svoiu ptashynochku do hnizdechka klyche.

Tam v haiu, pry dunaiu, tam muzyka hraie (2)
Bas hude, skrypka plache, molodets’ huliaie.

Tam v haiu, pry dunaiu, khodzhu samotoiu (2)
I plachu, I rydaiu myla/mylyi za toboiu.

(english translation - courtesy of richard handal)

In the forest near the danube river,
There is a nightingale singing,
He sings to gather everyone from his family

In the forest near the danube river,
There is a bass vibrating and a fiddle crying,
I think of a place where my lovely one is strolling now

In the forest near the danube river,
I am sick with my loneliness,
Crying, I want to fly like a bird,
To where my lovely one is now.
