Russian Lyrics and English translation of the song Пряха (Spinner):
| В низенькой светелке Огонек горит, Молодая пряха У окна сидит. Молода, красива, Карие глаза, По плечам развита Русая коса. Русая головка, Думы без конца Ты о чем мечтаешь, Девица-краса?.. | In the lowish parlour A light burns, The young spinner Sits under the window. Young, beautiful, Hazel eyes, About her shoulders abounding Honey tresses. Honey head, Thoughts without end... What are you dreaming of, Maiden-beauty? |
