Traditional
Dostochka/Plank
[Translation]
In the street, you will tell me, baby
You will tell me baby – all right
An oak plank lay in a willow tree
Oh yes, lay in the willow tree
In the willow it lay, from the willow, it fell
Oh lyuli, lyuli, it fell off the willow tree
It fell off the willow tree and struck young lads
Oh lyuli, lyuli, struck young lads
Young fellows who sat with work to do
Oh lyuli, lyuli, they had work to do
In the sky, you will tell me, baby
You will tell me baby – all right
[Original lyrics]
In the street, you will tell me, baby
You will tell me baby – all right
Да дубова досточка, да на вєрбє лежала
Ой да на вєрбє лежал(а)
Да на вєрбє лежала, да із вєрби й упала
Ой люлі, да люлі, да із вєрби й упал(а)
Да із вєрби упала, паробочков побіла
Ой люлі, да люлі, паробочков побіл(а)
Парубочки й сядєлі, да работу рабілі
Ой люлі, да люлі, да работу рабіл(і)
In the sky, you will tell me, baby
You will tell me baby – all right
