THROUGH THE GATE
Russian Folk Songs with English Translations p.8 #3
Through the gate there came a maid,
By the lake, and there she stayed;
All up-on a sum-mer mor-ning,
by the lake, and there she stayed.
Proud-ly rode a horse-man by,
Soon the maid-en did es-py,
All up-on a sum-mer mor-ning,
Soon the maid-en did es-py.
To the gate his rein he ties,
Looks the miad-en in the eyes,
All up-on a sum-mer mor-ning,
Looks the maid-en in the eyes.
Pri-thee, maid-en, be so kind,
Stay a while my horse to mind,
All up-on a sum-mer mor-ning,
Sat a while my horse to mind.
