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 mylamylyi 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.



(Anonymous Traditional Ukrainian Folk Song)
