СТЕПЬ ДА СТЕПЬ КРУГОМ The most famous old Russian folk songs.
Double subtitles.
Performed by the Omsk Folk Choir
Степь да степь кругом,
путь далёк лежит.
В той степи глухой
умирал ямщик.
И набравшись сил,
чуя смертный час,
он товарищу
отдавал наказ.
Ты, товарищ мой,
не попомни зла.
Здесь степи глухой,
схорони меня.
Ты коней моих
сведи к батюшке.
Передай поклон
родной матушке.
А жене скажи
слово прощальное,
передай кольцо
обручальное.
Про меня скажи,
что в степи замерз.
А любовь её
я с собой унёс.
Степь да степь кругом,
путь далёк лежит.
В той степи глухой
умирал ямщик.

Only steppe all around
Our way is going to be long.
On that deserted steppe
A coachman was freezing to death.
And he gathered his strength,
Feeling the death coming,
He was asking, was asking, was asking
His friend:
You, my friend!
Don't keep evil in your mind.
On that deserted steppe
Bury me.
You bring the raven
Horses to my father
Bow for me
To my dear, dear, dear mother.
And say to my wife
My last word,
Bring her
A wedding ring.
And say that
I froze to death in the steppe.
And that I took her love
With me.
Nothing but the steppe all around,
Our way is going to be long.
On that deserted steppe
A coachman was freezing to death.
