[Verse 1: Olga Busaeva & Angelina Bezrukova, Olga Busaeva]
My lambs, curly ones
Who would water you, who would feed you
Who would water you, who would feed you
[Verse 2: Olga Busaeva & Angelina Bezrukova]
The mother is old, the daughter is young
And I am a young girl, I was weaving carpets
And I am a young girl, I was weaving carpets
[Verse 3: Olga Busaeva & Angelina Bezrukova]
The threads are woven, the threads are torn
Around young me there are Cossacks hanging
Around young me there are Cossacks hanging
[Verse 4: Olga Busaeva & Angelina Bezrukova, Olga Busaeva]
You hang around, don’t you hang around
Don’t you hope to get the young me
Don’t you hope to get the young me
[Verse 5: Angelina Bezrukova & Olga Busaeva]
It's not the ice cracking, it's not the mosquito squeaking
It’s a beau dragging a pike perch to his ladylove
It’s a beau dragging a pike perch to his ladylove
[Verse 6: Angelina Bezrukova & Olga Busaeva]
Oh, darling, you're a dove
Could you, darling, cook pike perch and make ukha
Could you, darling, cook pike perch and make ukha
[Verse 7: Angelina Bezrukova & Olga Busaeva, Angelina Bezrukova]
And ukha, and parsley
Curly-haired Ivan, yes, my sweetheart
Curly-haired Ivan, yes, my sweetheart
[Verse 8: Angelina Bezrukova & Olga Busaeva]
Curly-haired Ivan went to the cabbage fields
He hired a young girl to chase
He hired a young girl to chase
[Verse 9: Angelina Bezrukova & Olga Busaeva]
Go chase, go chase that infertile goose
So that my cabbage would be big-headed
So that my cabbage would be big-headed
[Verse 10: Angelina Bezrukova & Olga Busaeva]
Big-headed, big-boned
The young boys are catch
The young boys are catch
[Verse 11: Angelina Bezrukova & Olga Busaeva, Angelina Bezrukova]
Oh, who carried you to the leaky bridge
You didn't know how to hold on to a dog's tail
You didn't know how to hold on to a dog's tail
[Verse 12: Angelina Bezrukova & Olga Busaeva]
I held on, but fell off
I haven’t heated the stove for three days, I didn't wash
I haven’t heated the stove for three days, I didn't wash
[Verse 13: Angelina Bezrukova & Olga Busaeva, Angelina Bezrukova]
I haven't heated the stove for three days, but it's hot on the stove
I didn't love my dear, but I felt sorry for him
I didn't love my dear, but I felt sorry for him
[Verse 14: Angelina Bezrukova & Olga Busaeva, Angelina Bezrukova]
Fell in love with you too, you have a mustache and a beard
You have a mustache and a beard, I'm a young girl
You have a mustache and a beard, I'm a young girl
