My voice, my voice, is like the landrail’s voice,
Ma voice, my voice, is like the landrail’s voice,
Because of my voice my darling fell in love,
Because of my voice my darling fell in love,
Inna-giri-giri, inna-giri-giri
Inna-giri-giri, inna-na
Why don’t you fasten your golden, your silver buttons?
Why don’t you fasten your golden, your silver buttons?
How are you, why don’t you answer?

Inna-giri-giri, inna-giri-giri
Do not stomp under the window, our bonnet is bad,

Don’t praise yourself too much, you have seen, don’t cheat

Inna-giri-giri, inna-giri-gi
As you go out of the gate, don’t wave your cap,
As you go out of the gate, don’t wave your cap,
Now I am not yours, don’t say “my beloved” anymore
Now I am not yours, don’t say “my beloved” anymore
Inna-giri-giri, inna-giri-giri
Do you love, my darling, do you cheat, my darling?
Do you love, my darling, do you cheat, my darling?
Your lips said “I love”, your eyes said “I cheat”.
Your lips said “I love”, your eyes said “I cheat”.
Inna-giri-giri, inna-giri-giri

For us, handsome people, to dance and rejoice

If you open your doors, we’ll enter with a stomp,

The daughter in law to be brought in has a big belly,

Oh, my night, my night, my dark night,
Oh, my night, my night, my autumn dark night,
Oh, my night, my night, my autumn dark night,
But why are you, oh dark night, so quiet?
Or don’t you have in the sky a full moon?
Or don’t you have in the sky a full moon?
But why you, young girl why do you weep?
Don’t you have a mother, yes, and a father?
Don’t you have a mother, yes, and a father?
Yes, I have a mother and I have a father,
Oh, but I just do not have a beloved, yes a beloved.
Oh, but I just do not have a beloved, yes a beloved.

Conscript song

We leave to go far away
To the upper reaches of a sparkling deeply flowing river
Even if you do not weep, you shall yet feel sorrow
In the month when the cuckoo cuckoos.
Even if you do not weep, you shall yet feel sorrow
In the month when the cuckoo cuckoos.
The train goes whistling and
The rails remain, warming
We leave to go far away,
Mother remains in tears.
We leave to go far away,
Mother remains in tears.
There is no wind, but even without wind,
My hair flutters
Don’t make me weep, comfort
My mother’s heart
Don’t make me weep, comfort
My mother’s heart.
For you remain…
For you remain, mother dear,
We now go away
What has been written by Inmar
Is impossible to predict.
The train goes whistling and
The rails remain, warming
We leave to go far away,
Mother remains in tears.
We leave to go far away,
Mother remains in tears.
Why did mother give birth to her child?
To serve the army.
Why did mother give birth to her child?
To serve the army.

Have you come, have you come,
Wanting to come to us?
We have waited, we have waited
Hoping that you would come.
We have waited, we have waited
Hoping that you would come.
You have come along the long path
Have you arrived along the short one?
Either you have missed us,
Or we have missed you?
Either you have missed us,
Or we have missed you?
If I would live far away
Of I would live close enough
I would not live, I would not live
Separated from you.
I would not live, I would not live
Separated from you.
The bird cherry white flowers
I would hold them all in my right hand.
These beloved kin of mine
I would hold them all under my eyes.
These beloved kin of mine
I would hold them all under my eyes.

Already in autumn, a half year already we have waited for our Great Day,
And today’s day has, oh, arrived.
And today’s day has, oh, arrived.
Oh, only with you, Inmar gave us,
Let us only live, oh, together
Let us only live, oh, together
My lord only my Inmar, my great Inmar,
Accept only our blessed ceremony with favour,
Accept only our blessed ceremony with favour,
We do it not for you, no, and not for us,
But for the good people, oh, in our village.
But for the good people, oh, in our village.

Round, round, ay, is the aspen leaf,
Round, round, ay, is the aspen leaf
It flutters, ay, at the top of the aspen,

She swirls, ay, in the arms of another,
In the arms of another.

From the hedge snow is swept,
From the hedge snow is swept,
One of my boots, ay, remained,
One of my boots.
This girl’s dance,

With all my soul, ay, I fell in love
With all my soul.
Ay, dance, Nas’ta, she dances nicely, she swirls
Ay, dance, Nas’ta, she dances nicely, she swirls

Yesterday I saw you, and
Today I saw you.
Among lots of people, Zanabey,
I saw you as a darling, Zanabey.
Illya, illya, illya, lja, da
Illya, illya, illya, lja;
Among lots of people, Zanabey,
I saw you as a darling, Zanabey.
You shall give a sunflower, and
You shall give a sunflower.
Even if you are not close by, Zanabey,
I imagine you close by, Zanabey.
Illya, illya, illya, lja, da
Illya, illya, illya, lja;
Even if you are not close by, Zanabey,
I imagine you close by, Zanabey.
They shall give an apple and ask you to eat it,
Don’t eat it, my friends!
They will separate us with gossip, Zanabey,
Do not separate, my friends, Zanabey.
Illya, illya, illya, lja, da
Illya, illya, illya, lja;
They will separate us with gossip, Zanabey,
Do not separate, my friends, Zanabey.
The star close to the moon
Is only Venus.
When the weather brightens and it disappears
I see you, Zanabey.
Illya, illya, illya, lja, da
Illya, illya, illya, lja;
When the weather brightens and it disappears
I see you, Zanabey.

Your sun rises whirling and swirling,
Untangling curly blue clouds
Untangling curly blue clouds.
We sing talking and telling,
Untangling, ay, our heart’s thoughts,
Untangling, ay, our heart’s thoughts.
Rising along your long street
Shall we find, ay, open gates to get in?
Shall we find, ay, open gates to get in?
Open gates to get in, why don’t we find them?
Good people’s gates shall always be open.
Good people’s gates shall always be open.

Sleep, do sleep, my baby,
My beautiful, my dove,
My beautiful, my dove,
You will grow, you will be big, happy
You will live a happy life
You will grow, you will take an axe,
You will go singing to the forest
You will go singing to the forest
To the forest
Your mother will feed you with pancakes
You’ll go home, you’ll eat tasty food
You’ll go home, you’ll eat tasty food
Tasty food
You’ll go home, you’ll eat tasty food
Tasty food
Sleep, do sleep, my baby,
My golden poppet.
My golden poppet, my golden poppet.
Poppet.
