In the morning arose, I looked, On the right hand a silver ring, Double bracelet, waist is thin, Klekochet irendyksky eagle Irendyksky eagle screams. Do not lose hope, my friends, in this world, On the right hand a silver ring, Double bracelet, waist is thin, Feast will come in one day, Feast will come one day. Caress, I said, I will come in the evening, I said On the right hand a silver ring Double bracelet, waist is thin, Old people will see, you can not, O my soul, says (she) Old people will see, you can not, O my soul says. In the left cheek kissed her passionately I On the right hand a silver ring, Double bracelet, waist is thin, Old people do not look at us, O my soul, saying, Old people do not look at us, O my soul, saying.
