Polevykh Tsvetov VenochekA little wreath of wildflowers,
V Utrenney Rose TsvetokA flower in the morning dew.
Solov’ya Zapev-svistochekA nightingale’s first little song,
Sok Beryozovyy GlotokA sip of birch sap.
Tishiny Poslushat’ VvolyuTo listen to the silence for as long as I want,
Po Tropinke V Les GustoyDown a path into the dense forest.
Poboltat’ S Beryozkoy Vdovol’To chat with a birch tree to my heart’s content
Pro Nego I Pro Lyubov’About him and about love.
Matushka ZemlyaMother Earth,
Belaya Beryozon’kaMy little white birch tree.

Dlya Drugikh Zanozon’kaFor others, you’re just a splinter.

Skol’ko Mne Eshchyo GodochkovHow many more years I have left,
U Kukushki Posproshat’I’ll ask the ‘kuznezchik’ cricket.
Pro Lyubov’ Svoyu Devich’yuAbout my maiden love,

Klyuchevoy Vody StudyonoyWith the cold water of a spring,
V Sotakh Svezhego MedkuWith fresh honey in the comb.
V Chistom Pole Tyomnoy Noch’yuIn an open field on a dark night,
V Nebe Zvyozdnom UtonuI’ll drown in a starry sky.
