Текст песни Дмитрий Хворостовский - В поле широком

VOLYN DUMA

Words by Lev May

In a field of wide iron hooves
The green life has been dug up...
There, under the weeping birch tree lies
Well done, secretly killed.

Well done, secretly killed, lies,
Secretly buried in the grass:
All of him, poor thing, is covered with china,
A thin Chinese red coin.

Here the girl came under the birch tree -
She blossomed like a rose, -
I quietly took off the young man’s Chinese shirt,
She kissed him passionately.

So another girl came -
The eyes shone like stars, -
I quietly took off the young man’s Chinese shirt,
She burst into tears.

The third came - and her gaze burned...
She said: “He’s sleeping, you can’t wake him up...
Sleep, my young man: now three sisters
You won't love again!"
