Dve gitari za stenoyu
Zhalabna zanyli
Sertse pamyatny napyev
Mily eta tyli.

Veter polye vassilki (ba)
Dalnaya daroga
Sertse noyet at taski
Na dushe trevoga.

Chorus:
|: Ekh raz yeshchoras
   Yeshcho mnoga mnogaras
   Ekh ekh raz da yeshchoras
   Yeshchomnoga mnogaras. :|

Pagavari-zhe ty so mnoyu
Padruga semistrunnaya
Fsya dusha palna taboyu
A noch takaya lunnaya.

Gdye balit, chto balit
Galava s pakhmelia
Sevodnya pyom, zaftra pyom
Tseluyu nedyelyu.
Chorus:

U menya byla zhena
Ana mnye izmenila
Izmenila tol'ka raz
A patom reshila.

Na garye stayit al'kha
Par garoyu vyshenya
Paren' lyubil tsiganochku
Ana zamush vyshla.
Chorus:

tr. Frank

I hear a pair of guitars singing,
Their song to my soul is bringing
Memories of you. My thoughts are winging
Homeward to you my dearest friend.

The evening wind blows o'er my bow'r,
It bends a lovely blue corn flow'r,
Pointing down the gloomy road I travel
With my load.

Chorus:
|: Ekh raz yeshchoras
   Yeshcho mnoga mnogaras
   Ekh ekh raz da yeshchoras
   Yeshchomnoga mnogaras. :|

Oh, speak to me my seven heartstrings
My dear guitar your voice sings.
And fills my soul this night
With joy in the moonlight!

Please sing so that my pain may wane;
My head does not feel well, again.
Today we drink to ease my woe, and so
The week'll go.
Chorus:

Once, yes, I had a lovely wife
But she shared another's life.
Saying: "Just one more time
Won't hurt you, husband mine."

On yonder hill the birch trees stand,
Red cherries grow in valley land
A young man asked a Gypsy's hand. She wed
Another.
