Текст песни Василь Жданкін - Ой, не пугай пугаченько

Oh, don't scare me, little owl
In the green flag!

How can I not be scared?
Around the mountains and ravines,

Around the mountains and ravines -
I have nowhere to build nests,

I have nowhere to build nests,
Give birth to more babies.

The widow walked down the valley
With the baby and with the baby,

The widow sat down to rest
Talk to your son -

Oh, my little son,
Where is your dear father?

An eagle sits above the water,
Talking to widow -

Don't cry, don't cry, young widow,
Because I know your husband,

Because I know your husband
I have lunch three times a day.

And I have breakfast, I have lunch,
For the third time - dinner,

I step on the curls,
I pull my eyes out of my forehead.
