TEXTS AND TRANSLATIONS

ACT ONE
Prologue: Snowstorm and the Death of Watchman
Ох, ити как и тошнёхонько! Ай как и закатилоси солнышко Дак середи-то дни белыя Дак в нашой светлой свитлици. Ох, овдовили гореньки. Забусели околенки без корминеця батюшка, рондуки пошатилисе, окошка покосилисе, Ой оставил нас батюшко! Ой кругом да сиротками!	Oh, it is so sickening! The sun went down In the middle of the day At my bright room. Oh, the garret became a widower, Window frames became dark, Without our father-breadwinner all the coffers bulged out, all the windows crooked, Oh, father left us! Oh, he left us orphans!
Scene 3: Anna’s treason
Всю я ноченьку тосковала, Во всю ноченьку не сыпала, В зеленом саду прогуляла, всё я милого проискала. Я нашла своего Милого средь садика зеленого. Что под грушицей стоит новая кроватка, Что на той ли на кроватушке лежит душечка молодчик. Ничего лежит не промолвит. Что промолвил одно слово: Я обрезал девке косу. Красну девку обесчестил.	I was grieving all the night, I was not sleeping all the night, I was walking in the green garden looking for my darling. I found My darling in the green garden: There was a bed under a pear tree And in this bed there was my dear young man. He was lying there in silence, but he said only a word: I cut the girl’s braid off, I dishonored this beautiful girl.
ACT TWO
Scene 7: Harvest song
Что и в лузе да на перевозе, Там Лёвонька да траву кося, У! Там Лёвонька да траву кося да на берег вынося. У! Да на берег вынося, вороного да коня прося. У! Вороного да коня прося: Ешь коник да траву зеленую. У! Ешь коник да траву зеленую, привези мне да жену молодую. У! Белую да румяную, девочку разудалую. У!	Close to the ferry Lyovon’ka is mowing the grass, ooh! Lyovon’ka is mowing the grass, He is taking the grass to the shore. Ooh! He is taking the grass to the shore, and he is asking his black horse. Ooh! He is asking his horse: Eat this green grass, my dear horse. Eat this green grass, bring me a young wife. With white skin and red cheeks, bring me a daring girl. Ooh!
