lyrics

15. Служба ли матушка
х. Мрыховский Ростовской области, военно-бытовая песня донских казаков
с участием Сергея Горбунова (запевала и дискант) и Вячеслава Асанова

Служба ли матушка да тебе ль надоела,
Али заболел твой добрый конь?

Эх, коник мой добрый службы не боится,
Он здоров и весел, громко ржёт.

Ай, конь здоров и весел, а он громко ржёт,
Ой, да казака на гора берёт.

Ой, да казака, эх, да на гора берёт,
Что казак на службицу идёт.

Ой, да что на службицу да ну идёт,
Ой, да за собой коня ведёт.

Ой, да за собой коня-душу ведёт,
Ой, да конь копытой землю бьёт.

Ой, да конь копытой а он землю бьёт,
Ой, да до камушка достаёт.

Ой, да до камушка а он достаёт,
Ой, да из копыта руда льёт.

15. Mother-service (Mrykhovsky farm, Rostov region, the everyday and military song of the Don Cossacks)

Oh, are you tired of the mother-service,
Or your faithful horse fell ill?
Oh, my faithful horse doesn't fear the service,
He is strong and merry, and he neighs aloud.
Oh, he is strong and merry, and he neighs aloud.
Oh, the melancholy overtakes the Cossack.
Oh, the melancholy overtakes the Cossack,
Oh, that the Cossack goes to the service.
Oh, that the Cossack goes to the service,
Oh, and he leads his faithful horse behind him.
Oh, he leads the soul-horse behind him,
Oh, the horse is pawing the ground.
Oh, the horse is pawing the ground,
Oh, he reaches out to the pebble.
Oh, he reaches out to the pebble,
Oh, blood pours out from his hooves.

* Each couplet is repeating
