Meadow Night /Íî÷êà Ëóãîâàÿ /Ñåíîêîñíàÿ ïîðà /
My translation of the song "Íî÷êà Ëóãîâàÿ"/"Meadow Night" performed by the band "ßõîíò"/"Yahont"
Crescent hid beyond the grove
Dreaming are nocturnal shores…
Great become at July nighttime
Meadows for hay mowing, cor!
Only, am I to be guilty
That the ring is lost in lust?
That the palms scent sweet of corn mint
And of daisy’s blossom dust?
Two field flowers with their petals
By the temple caught in hair…
I will leave them as a keepsake
From my dear, beloved friend...
There’s a glow of summer lightning…
Over river mist’s to spill…
It’s already time to parting,
But to part - you have no will…
You, my playmates, please don’t wrangle!
Am I guilty? - No, I’m not!
It’s too early over hayfields
New dawn is, again, to glow!
What is more, is it so often
We are sleepless till the morn?
Oh, you, nighttime in the meadow!
Oh, you, night in the hay mown!
What is more, is it so often
We are sleepless till the morn?
Oh, you, nighttime in the meadow…
Oh, you, night in the hay mown…
