Dear oh dear, Please do not cheat on me. So my heart, oh, maiden´s heart, would not ache. Geese - swans in the sky, It is not your fault. You were flying, honking, Me and (my girl)friend were crying. I sat by the window, Doing some embroidery, I have put on my old vest. Sweetheart, where do you hide?

[Cal44]

Thank you SO much for this English translation!

Dorogoi, da, dorogoi Ne delay izmenushki Chtoby serdce ne bolelo U menya u devushki Gusi lebedi krylatye Vy ni v chom ne vinovatye Prileteli, kriakali My s podruzhkoy plakali Pod okoshkom ya sidela Vyshivala ya platok Kovtu staruyu nadela Kuda skrylsa moy druzhok?

@kshen11 Хорошо верьте этому брат или если я говорю товарища. Я работаю с российскими инженерами здесь в Боинге. Партия шикарных Кавказских людей. Предположение я являюсь decendant их, так как я - Кавказец также.

Ну кто бы мог подумать, что в Америке слушают наши русские-народные?!

This song is so wonderful and so under appreciated. guess the English speaking audience is just learning of her magic. I bet the Russian speaking persons are just learning of her magic too!

Wow, Judy's voice is really pleasant to listen to when she speaks as well. I think a tape of her reading poetry would cradle me to sleep as well as her majestic singing.

@Cal44 Curiously, I've only heard this in Gaelic - same tune, same lyrics (according to the above, since I don't speak Russian.) Makes you wonder, huh?

[kukubara2007]

not often when you listen to a foreign performer who can touch your hart. She sounds for Russian ears really good! Thank you for this video.

Thank you unknown friend of the Russians that you returned our old folk song for the russian next generations. We are grateful to you & of course Judy Collins for the love to our songs.

We cheat...a lot, thats due to extreme beauty of Russian women. Large gentic mix and cold weather with organic food supply had their impact also.) Изменушки)
