Река (Мельница) / River (Melnitsa)

Was I a tree on your shore, my river
Wiry from north winds would be my roots,
Leaves would be bitter, bitter would be my fruits,
In one gulp would I drink you all, my river.

----------------

River, river, how far to the sea?
River, river, you have beckoned me,
But now can you show the way to the freedom,
Because you have called to follow you, river…. river

----------------

Was I a bird in the waves of the sky,
Ringing like thunder in your insomnia,
I would then spilled with my stubborn wings
You waters onto the wild oats in the spring

----------------

River, river, how far to the sea?
River, river, you have beckoned me,
But now can you show the way to the freedom,
Because you have called to follow you, river…. river
River, river, how far to the sea?
River, river, you have beckoned me,
But now can you show the way to the freedom,
Because you have called to follow you, river…. river

----------------

You were my sorrow, now I will be your fear,
Three suns in your sky, but none will come near,
In your flowing milk the despair shivers,
Now cry with your honey tears, cry, my river!!!!

----------------

River, river, how far to the sea?
River, river, you have beckoned me,
But now can you show the way to the freedom,
Because you have called to follow you, river…. river
River, river, how far to the sea?
River, river, you have beckoned me,
But now can you show the way to the freedom,
Because you have called to follow you, river…. river

River, river... River, river?
You have beckoned me?
