«Летел голубь» | A Dove Was Flying |
Летел голубь, летел сизой Со голубицею. Шёл удалой молодец, да С красной девицею Что не сизенькой голубчик – Добрый молодец идёт. Что не сизая голубка – Красна девица-душа Позади идут товарищи Высматривают. Чтой высматривают, да Выговаривают : – Как бы эта голубица У голубя жила. Если б эта красна девица За мною пожила! Кладу голубя на ручку. Не тешится. Переложу на другу. Не ластится Изошёл голубь домой. Полетай, голубь, домой Полетай, голубь, домой, да Ко голубушке своей Сизый голубь сворковал Да голубушку целовал. Голубушка сворковала. Голубчика целовала |
A grey male dove was flying With a female dove. A dashing fellow was walking With a beautiful maiden That is not a grey male dove But a dashing fellow walking. That is not a grey female dove But a beautiful soul maiden His comrades walk behind Scrutinising. What they notice They speak out about: – It is as though this female dove Was living with the male dove. If only this beautiful maiden Would live with me for a while I rested the male dove on my hand. It does not calm down. I put it on my other hand. It does not make itself comfortable The male dove was going home. Fly, pigeon, home. Fly, pigeon, home To your dear female dove The grey male dove was cooing And kissing the female dove. The female dove was cooing. It was kissing the male dove |
