Russian Song

Sung by: Liao Changyong

The song was sung gently on the dusky water

The factories shone in the twilight in the distance

The train was speeding along and the lights in the windows were shining brilliantly

Two young men were waiting for me on both sides of the Hawthorn Tree

Oh, that thick Hawthorn Tree is full of white blossoms

Oh, why are you worried about that lovely Hawthorn Tree?

Oh, your lovely hawthorn tree, why do you fret

When the loud whistle had just stopped

I walked along the path toward the tree

The light wind blew without stopping under the dense hawthorn tree

Blowing the hairs of the youthful pincushion maker and the forcer

Oh, your lovely hawthorn tree, with its white blossoms in full bloom

Oh, your lovely hawthorn tree, why do you fret

Why do you fret? Why does the hawthorn tree fret

We meet in the workshop during the day and we are so close

But we meet at night but we are silent

The stars look at them both at night in the summer

But they don't understand to tell me which one of them is lovely

Oh, that dense hawthorn tree with its white blossoms in full bloom

Oh, why does your lovely hawthorn tree fret

In autumn, the geese have sung, and the white blossoms are full of blossoms.

The song of the geese in autumn has disappeared in the distance

The earth has been covered with a white frost

But on this rugged mountain path

The three of us are still wandering by the tree

Oh, that dense hawthorn tree with its white blossoms

Oh, your lovely hawthorn tree, why are you fretting

Which one of them is better suited to my wishes

I have no choice but to go on with my journey, but I am not sure which one is better.

I can't tell the difference, I'm restless all the time

They're both brave and lovely, they're all the same

Dear Hawthorn, I'm asking for your help

Oh, which one is the bravest and the loveliest

Oh, dear Hawthorn, tell me

Oh, which is the bravest and the loveliest

Oh, dear Hawthorn. Hawthorn tree, please tell me.
