Текст песни Георгий Виноградов - Песня ямщика

BOX SONG
 (music. M. Lazorev - st. Fadeev)

Music by M. Lazorev
The words of Fadeev

I'll lay the three greyhounds
Dark brown horses
And rush to the frosty night
To his red damsel.

Gay you dear friends
Rush the falcon faster!
Do not waste the golden days
There are few of them in this life!

While joy beats in my heart
Let us live happily;
While curls curl into rings
Let’s become a girl!

Out of habit, horses know
Where is the treasured country.
Snow blows hooves
And rush like an arrow!

Gay you, dear friends ...

The night was quiet and clear
The coachman besieged the three.
With a hot, passionate kiss
He put the maid in the sleigh.

And boldly shaking the reins,
To the three friends he said:
Gay you, other friends,
Rush the falcon faster!
Do not waste the golden days
There are few of them in this life!

From the repertoire of Nadezhda Plevitskaya (1884-1941)
