The Crane/"Ой, журавко" (Ukrainian folk song performed by Jeyana Morozenko)

TRANSLATION:

Why are you screaming each morning, crane?

How can I hush my scream? How can I fly?
I'm separated from my family
Like a stone thrown into the water.

A stone fell and can’t move.
It’s hard to live in a foreign land
Where no one understands you.

At home, mother will think of me
While serving the dinner.

She gives spoons to everyone,
And is left with a spare spoon.

Her daughter is somewhere in the world,
Suffering in a foreign land.

***
This song was learned from the recording of Uliana Kot (Krupove village, Volyn oblast).
