TRANSLATION OF THE LYRICS: Once I followed the trail On the border of the territory, And I met a girl Carrying pies. Oh, I heard, I heard, I heard Oh, I heard, I heard And I met a girl Carrying pies. My dear girl, You know my dreams That I love you, And pies with cheese as well. Oh, I heard, I heard, I heard Oh, I heard, I heard That I love you, And pies with cheese as well. When the girl heard The Cossack’s words and dreams, Then she immediately invited him For fresh pies. Oh, I heard, I heard, I heard Oh, I heard, I heard Then she immediately invited him For fresh pies. And when the happy time has come Which they were waiting for - The girl started kissing me But I was eating pies. Oh, I heard, I heard, I heard Oh, I heard, I heard The girl started kissing me But I was eating pies. And suddenly the hunters appeared - They weren’t enemies But they took the girl with them Along with the cheese pies. Oh, I heard, I heard, I heard Oh, I heard, I heard But they took the girl with them Along with the cheese pies. The Cossack wept bitterly: You are the worst enemies! Leave the girl for yourself - But give me back the pies. Oh, I heard, I heard, I heard Oh, I heard, I heard Take the girl for yourself - But give me back the pies... And with cheese! ORIGINAL UKRAINIAN LYRICS: Ішов я раз по стежі, По межі терени, І здибав я дівчину, Що несла пироги. Ой, чула, чула, чула, Ой, чула, чула я, І здибав я дівчину, Що несла пироги. Дівча, моя хороша, Чи знаєш мої сни, Що я тебе кохаю, Із сиром пироги. Ой, чула, чула, чула, Ой, чула, чула я, Що я тебе кохаю, Із сиром пироги. Дівчино як зочула Козацькі мрії-сни Відразу запросила На свіжі пироги. Ой, чула, чула, чула, Ой, чула, чула я, Відразу запросила На свіжі пироги. І як вони діждались Щасливої пори - Дiвча мене цілує, А я їм пироги. Ой, чула, чула, чула, Ой, чула, чула я, Дiвча його цiлує, А вiн їсть пироги. (Та раптом із-за лісу Взялися вороги Козак із переляку Сховався у бур’яни! Ой, чули, чули, чули, Ой, чули, чули ви, Козак із переляку Сховався у бур’яни!) А то були мисливцi - Нiякi вороги, Взяли собі дiвчину, Iз сиром пироги. Ой, чула, чула, чула, Ой, чула, чула я, Взяли собі дiвчину, Iз сиром пироги. Козак гірко заплакав: О, люті вороги, Візьміть собі дiвчину - Вiддайте пироги. Ой, чула, чула, чула, Ой, чула, чула я, Візьміть собі дiвчину - Вiддайте пироги. Iз сиром! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is official videochannel of the Russian operatic singer Leonid Mikhailovich Kharitonov (bass-baritone). Please, see “About“ section for more info.
