Translation of the song Летела гагара artist Marina Kapuro

Летела гагара, летела гагара на вешней заре,

A loon was flying, a loon was flying in spring twilight,

Летела гагара с морского утеса над тундрой сырой,

A loon was flying from a sea cliff over the wet tundra,

А там на болотах, а там на болотах брусника цвела,

And there in the marshes, and there in the marshes lingonberries bloomed

А там на болотах дымились туманы, олени паслись.

And there in the marshes mist was rising, and deer were grazing.

Летела гагара, кричала гагара, махала крылом,

A loon was flying, a loon was crying, beating its wing,

Летела гагара над мохом зеленым, над синей водой,

A loon was flying over green moss, over blue water,

Дымились болота, дымились болота на теплой заре,

The marshes were steaming, the marshes were steaming in the warm twilight,

Дымились болота, туманились травы, брусника цвела.

The marshes were steaming, the grass was misty, the lingonberries bloomed.

Кричала гагара, кричала гагара над крышей моей,

A loon was crying, a loon was crying over my roof

Кричала гагара, что солнце проснулось, что море поет,

A loon was crying, that the sun was awake, that the sea was singing

Что солнце проснулось, что месяц гуляет, как юный олень,

That the sun was awake, that the moon was strolling, like a young deer,

Что месяц гуляет, что море сияет, что милый мой ждет

That the moon was strolling, that the sea was shining, that my sweetheart was waiting.
