Kak pri balke, pri loščinke

Next to a ravine, near a small gully

Next to a ravine, near a small gully,
At the very top of the ridge,

Stood a few small tents,
White tents made of linen.

Between these tents,
Wound a small path.

And along this path,
A young girl carries water.

Young [???],
She begs a Roma woman to approach her.

Help me in my grief!
Marry me to a Cossack.

Marry me to a Cossack,
To a Cossack’s fate.

A Cossack has a military cap,
Wearing it over his right ear.

And along the left side,
A checkered pattern flashes out.

A checkered pattern flashes out,
How it suits him!
