Текст песни Молодая казачья - Как за Доном, за рекою

As behind the Don, across the river,
Under the green oak
The Cossack parted
With a black-footed lad.

I parted on the road
With a black-browed lad,
Hugged in the wind
The dashing horseman.

Cossack consoled a Cossack woman,
Taking off on a horse:
"Don't you cry, don't cry for me,
Don't cry, dear! "

"I'm going to the right fight
Against a formidable force -
Become a beloved home
For enemies a grave! "

"Stranger blood from the shores
The mighty Don will wash away!
I turn and turn with victory -
Take better! "

The Cossack hugged the maiden,
Has cast a glance hot,
And rushed to catch up
Cossack squadron!
