Milovitsa * *(Lovely Girl)
How far are you going, son?
I want to know what kind of miracle has happened now.
Why does the sun stand over the distant forest, and not want to go down.
Good day to you, grandfather!
Hello, hello.
so whereto, lad, are you keeping the path?
Well, I want to know -
why does the sun stay in the sky and not want to go down?
As if it saw a miracle on earth.
Yes, a miracle.
When you'll see this miracle yourself,
you will lose your heart.
What kind of miracle is it?
Well, go to the river Neman -
there you'll see it.
One thing I will say:
The miracle's name is Milovitsa.
Did you lose something here, lad?
Or have you lost your voice?
What a miracle you are!
If I tell other people, none would believe it.
Why wouldn't they believe it?
Miracles are just what people believe in!
Now I can not live without you, Milovitsa!
Come out to the shore!
I'll press you against my heart, and lead you away with me.
I can't.
My brother the Red Sun
does not allow me to step onto the shore.
Come, Milovitsa, my heart belongs to you!
You see.
Barefoot am I
I'm not able to set foot on the shore.
Make me, before sunrise
boots of golden sand.
If that is done, then...
The sun warmly loves his sister.
Oh, so warmly.
But my love is no less warm.
You've build a good oven.
But do you have enough spirit?
I've got enough.
