TRANSLATION OF THE LYRICS:
Why are you squinting your eyes, young lad,
Riding your troika-horses with bells.
You might get in trouble here
In the middle of the night just for nothing.
You might get in trouble here
In the middle of the night just for nothing.
Looks like you got here
Because of your hard service,
Being not free you've rode too far
In the ice steppe and in the clear field.
This isn't smoke covering low
Covering low and curling
There, behind the whitewind and blizzard,
You will meet a stranger...
There, behind the whitewind and blizzard,
You will meet a stranger...
Some terrible force is walking around
Russia is ringing with shackles in its fields,
Oh, you freedom, the frosty night,
The strange land, the distant song!
Oh, you freedom, the frosty night,
The strange land, the distant song!

RUSSIAN LYRICS:
Что ж ты молодец, щуришь оченьки,
Да на троечке с колокольчиком.
Пропадёшь гляди середь ноченьки
Ни за медный грош, ни за столечко.
Пропадёшь гляди середь ноченьки
Ни за медный грош, ни за столечко.
Занесла тебя, знать, нелёгкая
Служба царская, да неволюшка
В тую сторону, в даль далёкую,
В ледяную степь - чисто полюшко...
То не дым дымит, низко стелится,
Низко стелится да курчавится, -
То за вьюженькой, за метелицей
Чуженин тебе повстречается.
То за вьюженькой, за метелицей
Чуженин тебе повстречается.
Рыщет по свету сила грозная,
Звенит по полю Русь кандальная,
Ой ты, волюшка, ночь морозная,
Чуженинушка, песня дальняя!
Ой ты, волюшка, ночь морозная,
Чуженинушка, песня дальняя!
