Lyrics

Не осенний мелкий дождичек
Брызжет, брызжет сквозь туман:
Слезы горькие льет молодец
На свой бархатный кафтан.

припев:
Полно, брат-молодец!
Ты ведь не девица:
Пей, тоска пройдет!
Пей, пей, пей, тоска пройдет!

А тоска, братцы-товарищи,
В грудь засела глубоко, -
Ни веселия, ни радости
Все ушло так далеко…

(припев)

А и впрямь, братцы попробую
В вине горе потопить
Путь последний я испробую,
Как змею горе сгубить.

(припев)

Not the autumnal fine rain
Splashing, splashing through the fog.
A young lad is pouring out his bitter tears
Onto his velvety caftan.

refrain:
Stop it, young brother!
Don’t be a girl!
Drink! The sadness will go away
Drink, drink, drink! The sadness will go away!

But the sadness, fellow-brothers,
Is buried deeply in my soul.
No more joy and no more fun
All is gone far far away.

(refrain)

And indeed I will try, brothers,
To drown my sadness in the wine.
I will try the last way -
To destroy the grief like a snake.

(refrain)
