TRANSLATION OF THE LYRICS:

Once a dark-eyed Cossack girl
Shod my horse.
She asked for a small amount of money
not highly valuing her work.
"What's your name, young lady?"
And the young lady replies:
"You'll hear my name
In the clatter of your horse's hooves."

I rode along the street,
I galloped the roads,
And along the path among brown rocks,
And among gray rocks.
"Masha? Zina? Dasha? Nina?.."
None seem to be her name.
"Katya! Katya!" - was sounded to me
By my racer's horseshoes.

And since that time, whether I ride
Or whether I gallop -
"Katya, Katya, Katerina..."
I diligently whisper.
What a muddle-head I am!
Because I have another girlfriend!
But I cannot get Katya, like a song,
Out from my soul, brother!

Once a dark-eyed Cossack girl
Shod my horse.
She asked for a small amount of money
Not highly valuing her work.
What's your name, young lady?
And the young lady replies:
"You'll hear my name
In the clatter of your horse's hooves."
"You'll hear my name
In the clatter of your horse's hooves."

ORIGINAL LYRICS:

Черноглазая казачка
Подковала мне коня.
Серебро с меня спросила,
Труд недорого ценя.
Как зовут тебя, молодка?
А молодка говорит:
Имя ты мое услышишь
Из под топота копыт.

Я по улице поехал,
По дороге поскакал.
По тропинке между бурых,
Между серых, между скал.
Маша, Зина, Даша, Нина ?
Все как будто не она.
Катя, Катя высекают
Мне подковы скакуна.

С той поры хоть шагом еду,
Хоть галопом поскачу,
Катя, Катя, Катерина,
Неустанно я шепчу.
Что за бестолочь такая,
У меня ж другая есть!
Ну, а Катю, словно песню,
Из груди брат не известь.

Черноглазая казачка
Подковала мне коня.
Серебро с меня спросила,
Труд недорого ценя.
Как зовут тебя, молодка?
А молодка говорит:
Имя ты мое услышишь
Из под топота копыт.
