Songs

Spit, spit v lesu gluxom,
In a forest deep there sleeps,
spit knyazhna volshebny'm snom,
A princess in an enchanted sleep,
spit pod krovom tyomnoj nochi,
She sleeps beneath the night so dark,
son skoval ej krepko ochi.
Sleep has firmly sealed her eyes.
Spit, spit.
She sleeps, she sleeps.

Vot i les gluxoj ochnulsya,
All at once the forest stirs,
s dikim smexom vdrug prosnulsya
Suddenly there awakes with laughter wild
ved'm i leshix shumny'j roj
A raucous horde of sprites and witches,
i promchalsya nad knyazhoj.
Swarming over the princess.

Lish' knyazhna v lesu gluxom
But the princess in the forest deep
spit vse tem zhe myortvy'm snom.
Sleeps on in the same deathly sleep.
Spit, spit.
She sleeps, she sleeps.

Slux proshyol, chto v les dremuchij
Word spreads that into this virgin forest
bogaty'r pridyot moguchij,
There’ll come a powerful knight,
chary' siloj sokrushit,
Who with his might will break the spell
son volshebny'j pobedit
And overcome the charms of sleep
i knyazhnu osvobodit, osvobodit.
And set the princess free again.

No proxodyat dni za dnyami,
But day by day goes by,
gody' idut za godami...
And year by year…
Ni dushi zhivoj krugom,
There’s not a living soul around,
vse ob' 'yato myortvy'm snom.
Everything is sunk in deathly sleep.

Tak knyazhna v lesu gluxom
And so the princess in the forest deep
tixo sput glubokim snom;
Quietly sleeps her sleep so deep;
son skoval ej krepko ochi
Sleep has firmly sealed her eyes,
spit ona i dni, i nochi.
On she sleeps, both day and night.
Spit, spit.
She sleeps, she sleeps.

I nikto ne znaet, skorol'
And no one knows how soon
chas udarit probuzhden 'ya.
The hour of her awakening will come.
