Lyubo, bratsy, lyubo. Russian folk song
"Lyubo, bratsy, lyubo" (Russian: Любо, братцы, любо, which means Lovely, brothers, lovely) is a Russian and Cossack traditional song that we covered with my friend Yavor.
Please take a listen.
English translation:
At the early dawning, 'cross the rolling hillside
Legionnaires of Russia rode their shining, stoic steed
Horses fell to bullets, heroes pierced and rended
Stormy river runs red as a thousand soldiers bleed.
Lovely, brothers, lovely, lovely 'tis to live.
With our brave lieutenant who has time or will to grieve?
Lovely, brothers, lovely, lovely 'tis to live.
With our brave lieutenant, who has time or will to grieve?
The first bullet whistles, the first bullet's nearing
The first bullet wounded my proud steed right in his feet
And the second bullet, in a second's fury
And the second bullet carves a scorching void in me
Lovely, brothers, lovely, lovely 'tis to live.
With our brave lieutenant who has time or will to grieve?
Lovely, brothers, lovely, lovely 'tis to live.
With our brave lieutenant, who has time or will to grieve?
My sweetheart she mourns me, tears to fill a river
Mends her heart, forgets me and embraces my old friend
Pity that my country must fight on without me
Pity my old mother and the stallion that lies dead.
Lovely, brothers, lovely, lovely 'tis to live.
With our brave lieutenant who has time or will to grieve?
Lovely, brothers, lovely, lovely 'tis to live.
With our brave lieutenant, who has time or will to grieve?
Russian lyrics:
Как на быстрий Терек на высокий берег,
Выгнали казаки сорок тысяч лошадей.
И покрылось поле и покрылся берег,
Сотнями порубленных, пострелянных людей.
Любо, братцы, любо,
любо, братцы, жить
С нашим атаманом не приходится тужить.
Любо, братцы, любо,
любо, братцы, жить
С нашим атаманом не приходится тужить.
А первая пуля, а первая пуля,
А первая пяля в ногу ранила коня.
А вторая пуля, а вторая пуля,
А вторая пуля в сердце ранила меня.
Любо, братцы, любо,
любо, братцы, жить
С нашим атаманом не приходится тужить.
Любо, братцы, любо,
любо, братцы, жить
С нашим атаманом не приходится тужить.
Жинка погорюет, выйдет за другого.
За мого товарища, забудет про меня.
Жалко только волюшки во широком полюшке,
жалко сабли вострой да буланного коня.
Любо, братцы, любо,
