Иван Купала

Verse 1 Grasses in the field have bloomed, Wind caresses my cheek. This night, like in an old fairytale, I’m searching for the clue I seek. I see the fire’s flickering light — And I rush there with all my might! I hear songs by the water’s side, My heart longs for joy, for life, Believing in the magic fire’s might! Chorus On Ivan Kupala night, I will meet my destiny. My wreath floats so shyly — I sail toward my fate, you see! May the moon shine bright, so clear, Lighting up the way to my one and dear! The wreath floats down the river, far away, Lifting off the veil of single days! Verse 2 Let the fire burn high, let it sparkle like a star! I’ll walk through smoke, through flames, leaving all scars behind. And fate, I know it well, waits beyond, where he is near! Chorus On Ivan Kupala night, I will meet my destiny. My wreath floats so shyly — I sail toward my fate, you see! May the moon shine bright, so clear, Lighting up the way to my one and dear! The wreath floats down the river, far away, Lifting off the veil of single days! Verse 3 Laughter rings like a little bell, Dawn sings in the air, all is well. Around — friends, smiles, pure delight, Sorrow and grief, they’re gone from sight! People dance, sparks swirl and fly, In the round dance, you and I. Heart beats to the rhythm of bliss — Miracles glow for us, like this! Chorus On Ivan Kupala night, I will meet my destiny. My wreath floats so shyly — I sail toward my fate, you see! May the moon shine bright, so clear, Lighting up the way to my one and dear! The wreath floats down the river, far away, Lifting off the veil of single days! On Ivan Kupala night — The wreath floats down the river, far away!
