Translation of the song Нас венчали не в церкви artist Elena Kamburova

Нас венчали не в церкви,

We were wed not in church,

Не в венцах, ни с свечами,

Not in crowns, not with candles [1],

Нам не пели ни гимнов,

No hymns were sung for us,

Ни обрядов венчальных.

No wedding rites.

Венчала нас полночь

We were wed by the midnight,

Средь мрачного бора,

Amidst grim pine forest,

Свидетели были -

The witnesses were -

Туманное небо да тусклые звезды.

Clouded skies and dim stars.

Пропел буйный ветер

A wild wind had sung,

Да ворон зловещий,

And a sinister crow

Венчальные песни пропел.

Had sung the wedding songs.

На страже стояли

On guard stood

Утесы да бездны,

The cliffs and the chasms,

Постель постилали

The bed was made

Любовь да свобода,

By love and freedom.

Постель постилали

The bed was made

Любовь да свобода.

By love and freedom.
