Дмитрий Николаевич Садовников, |
| translated by Tr. Jacob Robbins |
| 1. From beyond the wooded island |
| To the river wide and free |
| Proudly sailed the arrow-breasted |
| Ships of Cossack yeomanry. |
| 2. On the first is Stenka Razin |
| With a princess at his side, |
| |: Drunken, holds a marriage revel |
| With his beautiful young bride. :| |
| 3. But behind them rose a whisper, |
| "He has left his sword to woo; |
| |: One short night, and Stenka Razin |
| Has become a woman too!" :| |
| 4. Stenka Razin hears the jeering |
| Of his discontented band, |
| |: And the lovely Persian princess |
| He has circled with his hand. :| |
| 5. His black brows have come together |
| As the waves of anger rise, |
| |: And the blood comes rushing swiftly |
| To his piercing, jet-black eyes. :| |
| 6. "I will give you all you ask for, |
| Life and heart, and head and hand," |
| |: Echo rolls the pealing thunder |
| Of his voice across the land. :| |
| 7. "Volga, Volga, mother Volga, |
| Deep and wide beneath the sun, |
| |: You have never seen a present |
| From the Cossack of the Don. :| |
| 8. And that peace might rule as always |
| All my free-born men and brave, |
| |: Volga, Volga, mother Volga, |
| Volga, make this girl a grave." :| |
| 9. With a sudden, mighty movement, |
| Razin lifts the beauty high, |
| |: And he casts her where the waters |
| Of the Volga move and sigh. :| |
| 10. Now a silence like the grave sinks |
| To all those who stand to see, |
| |: And the battle-hardened Cossacks |
| Sink to weep on bended knee. :| |
| 11. "Dance, you fool, and men, make merry! |
| What has got into your eyes? |
| |: Let us thunder out a chanty |
| Of a place where beauty lies." :| |
| 12. From beyond the wooded island |
| To the river wide and free, |
| |: Proudly sail the arrow-breasted |
| Ships of Cossack yeomanry. :| |
