Translation of the song При долині artist Ukrainian Folk

При долині кущ калини

By the valley a bush - a Kalyna

Нахилився до води,

Has bent down to the water,

Ти скажи, скажи калино,

You do tell me, tell me O Kalino,

Як попала ти сюди,

How did you come to settle here,

Ти скажи, скажи калино,

You do tell me, tell me O Kalino,

Як попала ти сюди.

How did you come to settle here.

Якось ранньою весною

Some how early in the spring

Хлопець бравий прискакав,

A brave boy skipped on by,

Милувався довго мною,

Had admired me for a long time,

А тодi з собою забрав,

And he took me then with him,

Милувався довго мною,

Had admired me for a long time,

А тодi з собою забрав.

And he took me then with him.

Він хотів мене калину

He had wanted me a Kalyna

Посадить в своїм саду,

To be planted in his garden,

Не довіз і в полі кинув,

He did not bring me, threw me out into the field,

Думав, що я пропаду,

I thought I would surely then perish ,

Не довіз і в полі кинув,

He did not bring me, threw me out into the field,

Думав, що я пропаду.

I thought I would surely then perish ,

Я за землю ухватилась,

So I grabbed at the ground,

Стала на ноги свої,

I then stood upon my feet,

І навіки залишилась,

And remained here, forever I had settled

Де вода і солов'ї,

Where the water and the nightingale were,

І навіки залишилась,

And remained here, forever I had settled

Де вода і солов'ї.

Where water and the nightingale were,

Ти не гни калину вітер,

You do not bend O wind the Kalyna,

Я тепер не пропаду:

I will not now perish here:

Наді мною сонце світить

Here above me the sun does shine

І надалі я цвіту.

And I'll continue here to bloom.
