Люба - русая коса (Luba has a fair braid)
Every evening to the club
Comes a funky lassie,
But who is dear to her heart –
You can only guess it.
Refrain (2 times)
Luba has a fair braid.
And every local fellow
Looking into her blue eyes
Feels bewitched and mellow.
Every evening to the club
Comes a funky lassie,
But who is dear to her heart –
You can only guess it.
Old friends (because of her)
Disagree and quarrel
But she won’t tell them straight
Who has won the laurels.
Refrain (2 times)
Luba has a fair braid.
And every local fellow
Looking into her blue eyes
Feels bewitched and mellow.
Once I bought a wedding ring,
Being pretty sure.
I was soaring like a bird,
Lost in her allure.
But a bad surprise occurred.
Sighing here and there,
I forgot to tell her words
I for her prepared.
Refrain (2 times)
Luba has a fair braid.
And every local fellow
Looking into her blue eyes
Feels bewitched and mellow.
Then one day from nearby,
Caught in heavy weather,
Came a Cossack to our place
And they stuck together.
They are smiling day and night.
They are always merry.
Our Luba fell in love,
Going to marry.
Refrain (2 times)
Luba has a fair braid.
And every local fellow
Looking into her blue eyes
Feels bewitched and mellow.
