Текст песни Державний академічний Волинський народний хор - Козак Мамай

COSSACK MOTHER

(Music by OO Stadnik, lyrics by D. Kulinyak)

In the steppe, as if the eternity is wide,
On the slope of a steep crimson day
Throwing disaster in the tall grass
Cossack plays duma on the mane of a horse.

Cossack plays duma on the shore of the night
And sawdust rustles like waves in the wind
And death looks into the eyes of the Cossacks
Always unexpectedly eternal as a moment.

No one will ever stop her
On the doorstep, she catches up.
Throwing a kobza friend behind
Cossack plays duma on the mane of a horse.

The Cossack plays duma and death on the ground
An ordinary Cossack grew up in Mamaia
That which is blinded by darkness through the nights
My Ukraine bore an image.

Looking in vain at the horizon of white
It looks from a relative's hike
He became Mama and died on the grave
Cossack plays duma on the mane of a horse.
