Kossack's Song

Don Cossack regiment is marching through a steppe A Cossack lowered his head in despair Oh, he was missing his home The rein was dropped onto the horse's mane Oh, he was missing his home The rein was dropped onto the horse's mane Oh, his fleece hat was messy Home sickness is killing him Ah! He looks blank into the steppe Even though there is nothing to see Ah! He looks blank into the steppe Even though there is nothing to see The Cossack shook his head And say sadly to his comrades "Oh! My heart bleeds" "How I wish to be at home now" "Oh! My heart bleeds" "How I wish to be at home now" Flying past the road Rid of the feeling of depression Ah! Riding the horse at full speed Whistling with his sword high in the charge! Ah! Riding the horse at full speed Whistling with his sword high in the charge! The glorious army is in the steppe hand All walking and singing like the nightingale Kovyl'na, my homeland Take a bow from the red Cossack! Kovyl'na, my homeland Take a bow from the red Cossack! Kovyl'na, my homeland Take a bow from the red Cossack!
