Blow, wind, at midnight. There is a valley between the mountains, There is a hut in that valley, There is a girl in that hut, My darling sweetheart. When her heart starts beating When she sighs sadly, When brown eyes start to cry, - Come back, wind, at midnight! And if she forgot me And caressed someone other, Then let the wind blow over the valley And don’t come back from Ukraine!.. The wind is blowing, the wind is blowing Heart is beating, heart is melting, The wind is blowing and does not return, And my heart pitifully freezes. ORIGINAL LYRICS: Повій, вітре, на Вкраїну, Де покинув я дівчину, Де покинув карі очі... Повій, вітре, опівночі. Між горами там долина, В тій долині є хатина, В тій хатині – дівчинонька, Дівчинонька-голубонька. Як заб’ється в нiй серденько, Як зітхне вона легенько, Як заплачуть карі очі, – Вертай, вітре, опівночі! А якщо мене забула І другого пригорнула, То розвійся край долини, Не вертайся з України!.. Вітер віє, вітер віє, Серце б’ється, серце мліє, Вітер віє, не вертає, Серце з жалю завмирає. #AnatolySolovyanenko #RedArmyChoir #BorisAlexandrov #ukrainiansongs #folksongs #choir
