Лучина - Russian Folk Song

То не ветер ветку клонит,
Не дубравушка шумит -
То мое сердечко стонет,
Как осенний лист дрожит;

Извела меня кручина,
Подколодная змея!..
Догорай, моя лучина,
Догорю с тобой и я!

That isn't the wind bending a branch,
Nor is it a leafy grove rustling.
It is my heart groaning,
Like an autumn leaf trembles.


I've been plagued by my grief,
Like a snake in the grass.
Burn down, burn all the way down, my kindling
And I will burn down with you.
