It is not a birch tree that can be witnessed bowing down;
It's for her beloved friend that a maiden calls, cries out.
I await...
I await you, Nikita, dear!
I'll see yet...
I'll see yet my beloved friend.
Fly away...
fly away, heart that is aflame,
And show him...
and show him the right path to take!
River mirror-like, yellow sand,
Keep me safe and sound for at least a small while!
For at least a small while...
Speed onward...
speed onward, river flowing fast!
Deliver...
deliver my words to my friend.
If you did, I'd rouse myself,
and embrace my brave young lad,
But beneath this wind, the tree
only bows down mournfully...
Where are you...
where are you, my Nikita, dear?
Forget not...
forget not this true, faithful heart.
I await...
I await you, Nikita, dear!
I'll see yet...
I'll see yet my beloved friend.
Rise up high...
rise up high, you bright, crimson sun!
Scatter and
cast aside the black, heavy clouds!
Melted was the ice by the ardent heart,
And the gardens bloom like white, foaming froth;
All the grief and dark powers are cast aside,
And once more the sun shines in the heavens bright!
