ORIGINAL LYRICS:

За Дунаем, за Дунаем, за Дунаем за рекой
Шли походом, шли походом на турецкие войска.
Эх, во садочке, во зеленом во саду
Все тоскует, все тоскует раскрасавица жена.
Эх, во садочке, во зеленом во саду
Все тоскует, все тоскует раскрасавица жена.

За Дунаем, за Дунаем, за Дунаем за рекой
Сабли востры, сабли востры, сабли вострые блестят
Эх, покатилась с парня буйна голова
Как узнала - зарыдала раскрасавица жена.
Эх, покатилась с парня буйна голова
Как узнала - зарыдала раскрасавица жена.

Ребятушки, стойте крепко за правду, правду народную!

За Дунаем, за Дунаем, за Дунаем за рекой
Шли походом, шли походом на турецкие войска.
Эх, во садочке, во зеленом во саду
Все тоскует, все тоскует раскрасавица жена.
Эх, во садочке, во зеленом во саду
Все тоскует, все тоскует раскрасавица жена.

LYRICS TRANSLATION:

Behind the Danube, behind the Danube, behind the Danube river
We marched, we marched on the Turkish troops.
Oh, in the garden, in the green garden
Yearning all the time, a beautiful wife's yearning all the time.
Oh, in the garden, in the green garden
Yearning all the time, a beautiful wife's yearning all the time.

Behind the Danube, behind the Danube, behind the Danube river!
The sabers are sharp, the sabers are sharp, the sharp sabers are shining
Ah, the boy's violent head rolled down!
The beautiful wife cried when she found out about it.
Ah, the boy's violent head rolled down!
The beautiful wife cried when she found out about it.

Guys, stand fast for the truth, the truth of the people!

Behind the Danube, behind the Danube, behind the Danube river
We marched, we marched on the Turkish troops.
Oh, in the garden, in the green garden
Yearning all the time, a beautiful wife's yearning all the time.
Oh, in the garden, in the green garden
Yearning all the time, a beautiful wife's yearning all the time.
