lyrics

1. SPRING
In the forest, in the forest
Two birches stand near
On the first birch
A cuckoo cuckooes
A cuckoo cuckooes
Telling not the whole truth
On the other birch
A nightingale twitters
A nightingale twitters
Telling the whole truth
As the guelder-rose
Would not be sweeter than the raspberry
As the mother-in-law
Would not be better than the own mother
As the sisters-in-law
Would not be better than the own sisters
As the brothers-in-law
Would not be better than the own brothers
So the father-in-law
Would not be better than the own father

Hey you, field birdie
Where did you spend the night?
First night in the forest
Second night in the bush
Third night near the road
There the skomorokhs passed by
Each cut off a twig
Each made a fife
Oh, don’t play the fife
Don’t wake my father
My father is over the river
He’s drinking green wine
He’s drinking away my plait
