A typical Ukrainian folk song...a young woman awaits her lover. It is common to talk with nature in Russian love ballads (see "Silken Grass" and "Dark Night")


Hurry, hurry behind the roof, crescent moon,
Hurry to me, my love, for our nightly farewell.

Hurry to me, my love, for our nightly farewell.
My heart is aching for your love.

There are no days or nights in my life
When my hazel eyes do not cry for you.

Hurry, hurry behind the roof, crescent moon.


Ой, зайды, зайды мисяць за комору.
Ой, прыйды прыйды
Мий мылый на розмову.

Ой, прыйды прыйды мылый на розмову.
Ой, болыть, болыть
Сэрдцэ за тобою.

Нэма того дня, нэма той и ночи.
Щоб нэ плакалы
Мои кари очы.

Ой, зайды, зайды мисяць за комору.
