lyrics

5. Берестэчко (ст. Васюринская Краснодарского края, на стихи Тараса Шевченко)

«Ой, чего ж ты почернэло,
Зеленое поле?»
«Почернэло я ж вид крови
За вольную волю.

Вкруг местэчка Берестэчка
На четыре мили
Мене славны запорижцы
Своим трупом вкрылы.

Ай, ше ж мэне грай вороны
Укрылы спивночи,
Клюют очи козацкие,
А трупа ж нэ хочуть.

Почернэло я зелэно
Тай за вашу волю.
Я же буду зелэнети,
А вы вже ж николы».

5. Berestechko (the village of Vasyurinskaya, the Krasnodar Territory, verses of Taras Shevchenko)

Oh, why did you become black,
Green and lawny cornfield?
I am black because of lifeblood
For the easy freedom.

All around Berestechko,
For a lot of miles,
I was covered by the bodies
Of the honoured Cossaks.

Oh, and the raven’s crying
Mantled me at midnight.
Ravens peck the eyes of Cossacks,
But don’t want their bodies.

I was green, but now I’m blackened
For your easy freedom.
And I will be green and lawny,
But you will be never.
