Алекс Руконив - У Лукоморья
текст песни

By the seashore, a green oak tree

A golden chain on that oak tree

Day and night, a learned cat

Walks around the chain

He goes right—he sings

He goes left—he tells a tale

There are miracles: there the wood goblin roams

A mermaid sits in the branches

The chain rattles, but the oak stands

The wind howls, the way is open

The wood goblin knows, Koschei awaits

Soon, Rus', your time will come

There, on unknown paths

Tracks of unseen beasts

There, a hut on chicken legs

It stands windowless, doorless

There, the forest and valley are full of visions

There, at dawn, the waves will wash

On the sandy, empty shore

And thirty handsome knights

Emerge in succession from the clear waters

And with them, their sea companion

Chain The thunder roars, but the oak tree stands

The wind howls, the way is open

The Leshy knows, Koschei awaits

Soon, your time will come for Rus'

There, the prince passes by

Captivates the formidable king

There, in the clouds before the people

Through the forests, across the seas

The sorcerer carries the hero

There, in the dungeon, the princess grieves

And the brown wolf serves her faithfully

There, the mortar with Baba Yaga

Walks, wanders by itself

The chain thunders, but the oak tree stands

The wind howls, the way is open

The Leshy knows, Koschei awaits

Soon, your time will come for Rus'

There, Tsar Kashchei pines over gold

There, the Russian spirit... there, the scent of Russia

The chain roars, but the oak tree stands

The wind howls, the way is open

The Leshy knows, Koschei awaits

Soon, your time will come for Rus' will come

The chain rattles, but the oak stands

The wind howls, the way is open

The Leshy knows, Koschei awaits

Soon, Rus', your time will come
