Зародились в нашом жити
Zarodylys' v nashom zhyty
Harvest Song, Rivne Region Ukraine
Zarodylysʹ v nashom zhyty y vuzhynki,
A v nashoho khazyayina obzhynky.
Zarodyvsya v nashom zhyty y dubochok,
Da y splyetemo khazyayinu vyenochok
Zarodylasʹ v nashom zhyty metlitsa,
Dayte nashym zhenchykam shchosʹ napitstsa.
– Khazyayinu, khazyayinu, ne lyakaysya,
Da na vyechor harelochky
prystaraysa.
Da na vechor harelochky
solodenʹkoy,
Da y dlya mene, da y dlya mene, molodenʹkoy.
Oy zhenchyky, oy zhenchyky, do kontsa,
Da y poyedem dodomonʹku do skhod sontsa.
Poetic Translation:
In our rye, snakes were born, And it is harvest time for the master of the house.
In our rye, an oak tree was born And we will plait a wreath for the master of the house.
In our rye, small butterflies were born,
Give our harvesters something to drink.
Master of the house, master of the house, do not be afraid.
Try to bring us some booze by the evening time.
Some sweet booze in the evening For me, for a young person like me.
Oh harvesters, oh harvesters, Come to the edge,
And we will return home before the sun rises.
