Available translation(s): ENG FRE
Парень пригожий мой,
Парень красивый, кто ты?
Зачем над Свитезью бурливой
Бродишь ненастной порою?
Бросься к нам в волны
И будем кружиться вместе по зыби
Хрустальной со мною.
Хочешь, мой милый,
И ласточкой шибкой
Будешь над озером мчаться,
Или красивой веселою рыбкой
Белый день будешь ты в струйках плескаться.
Ночью на ложе волны серебристой
Ландишей мы набросаем,
Сладко задремлем под сенью струистой,
Дивные грёзы узнаем!

Svitez maiden
Language: English  after the Russian (Русский)
Youth, handsome and
comely - who are you?
Why above the roaring Svitez-lake
Are you wandering in poor weather?
Plunge yourself into the waves
and let us swirl together
in the crystal ripple.
If you would like, my dear,
as a swift swallow
You could fly over the lake,
Or as a beautiful jolly fish,
The entire day you could splash in the streams.
At night, the bed of the silvery wave
We'll cover with lilies of the valley,
In languorous slumber under the streaming cover
We'll have wondrous dreams!
