Lyrics[]
Vesnyanochko, vesnyanochko
De ty zymuvala?
U sadochku na klenochku
Sorochechku pryala
Tam u lisi, na uzlissi
Sova v vodu duye
Zaspivayu spivanochku
Nekhay vona chuye
Zapletysya, shume, barvinochkom
YA tobi spivayu vesnyanochku
Siyu, siyu, siyu, siyu konopelechky
Siyu, siyu, siyu, siyu zelenesenʹki
Pryydy, pryydy, vesnyanochko
Ta y ne zabarysya
A my vyydem na yulytsyu
Budem lyubytysya
Vesnyanochko, panyanochko
Zahlyanʹ u vikontse
Zaspivaly spivanochku
Zasvitylo sontse
Numo, numo, zapletemo shuma
Zapletemo, hulyaty pidemo
Siyu, siyu, siyu, siyu konopelechky
Siyu, siyu, siyu, siyu zelenesenʹki
Zapletysya, shume, zapletysya
Barvinochkom, shume, zastelysya
Siyu, siyu, siyu, siyu konopelechky
Siyu, siyu, siyu, siyu zelenesenʹki
Vesnyanochko, vesnyanochko
De ty zymuvala?
U sadochku na klenochku
Sorochechku pryala
Tam u lisi, na uzlissi
Sova v vodu duye
Zaspivayu spivanochku
Nekhay vona chuye
Zapletysya, shume, zapletysya
Barvinochkom, shume, zastelysya
Siyu, siyu, siyu, siyu konopelechky
Siyu, siyu, siyu, siyu zelenesenʹki
Numo, numo, zapletemo shuma
Zapletemo, hulyaty pidemo
Siyu, siyu, siyu, siyu konopelechky
Siyu, siyu, siyu, siyu zelenesenʹki
Freckles, freckles
Where did you spend the winter?
In the garden on klenochku
She spun her shirt
There in the woods, on the edge of the forest
The owl blows into the water
I sing a song
Let her hear
Tangle, noise, periwinkle
I'm singing you a spring song
This, this, this, this hemp
This, this, this, this green
Come on, come on, freckle
And don't delay
And we will go to the street
Let's make love
Spring girl, young lady
Look out the window
They sang a song
The sun shone
Numo, numo, let's make noise
Let's braid, let's go for a walk
This, this, this, this hemp
This, this, this, this green
To tangle, to make noise, to tangle
Periwinkle, noise, covered
This, this, this, this hemp
This, this, this, this green
Freckles, freckles
Where did you spend the winter?
In the garden on klenochku
She spun her shirt
Oh in the woods, on the edge of the forest
The owl blows into the water
I sing a song
Let her hear
Tangle, noise, periwinkle
I'm singing you a spring song
This, this, this, this hemp
This, this, this, this green
Numo, numo, they made a noise
They did, woke up the spring
This, this, this, this hemp
This, this, this, this green
