Original Lyrics of Матушка (Mother)
Текст песни «Матушка»
Куплет 1
Полевых цветов веночек, в утренней росе цветок
Соловья запев свисточек, сок берёзовый глоток
Тишины послушать волю, по тропинке в лес густой
Поболтать с берёзкой вдоволь про него и про любовь
Припев
Матушка-земля, белая берёзонька
Для меня — Святая Русь, для других — занозонька
Матушка-земля, ой, белая берёзонька
Для меня — Святая Русь, для других — занозонька
Куплет 2
Сколько мне ещё годочков у кукушки поспрошать
Про любовь свою девичью на ромашке погадать?
Ключевой воды студёной, в сотах свежего медку
В чистом поле тёмной ночью, в небе звёздном утону
Припев
Матушка-земля, белая берёзонька
Для меня — Святая Русь, для других — занозонька
Матушка-земля, ой, белая берёзонька
Для меня — Святая Русь, для других — занозонька
Бридж
Матушка-земля, для меня — Святая Русь
Матушка-земля, белая берёзонька
Для меня — Святая Русь, для других — занозонька
Припев
Матушка-земля, белая берёзонька
Для меня — Святая Русь, для других — занозонька
Матушка-земля, ой, белая берёзонька
Для меня — Святая Русь, для других — занозонька
Аутро
Матушка-земля
Матушка-земля
Для других — занозонька
English Lyrics of Матушка (Mother)
Verse 1
A wreath of wild flowers, a flower in the morning dew
A nightingale’s whistle, a sip of birch sap
Listen to the will of silence, along a path into the dense forest
Chat with the birch tree to your heart’s content about him and about love
Chorus
Mother Earth, white birch tree
For me – Holy Russia, for others – a splinter
Mother Earth, oh, white birch tree
For me – Holy Russia, for others – a splinter
Verse 2
How many more years should I ask the cuckoo Foretell
about my maiden love on a daisy?
Cold spring water, fresh honey in honeycombs
In an open field on a dark night, in the starry sky I will drown
Chorus
Mother Earth, white birch tree
For me – Holy Russia, for others – a splinter
Mother Earth, oh, white birch tree
For me – Holy Russia, for others – a splinter
Bridge
Mother Earth, for me – Holy Russia
Mother Earth, white birch tree
For me – Holy Russia, for others – a splinter
Chorus
Mother Earth, white birch tree
For me – Holy Russia, for others – a splinter
Mother Earth, oh, white birch tree
For me – Holy Russia, for others – a splinter
Outro
Mother Earth
Mother Earth
For others – a splinter
