Lyrics:
Zimushka-Zima
Zima morozliva
Oh, ne morozi-ka Zima
Da-li dobra molodca
Ne moroz' Zima
Da dobra molodca
Oj, kak s muzhom i-to zhona
Da-li ne v ladu zhila
Kak s muzhom zhona
Da ne v ladu zhila
Oh, ne v ladu ona zhila
Da-li muzha izvela
Ne v ladu zhila
Da muzha izvela
Oh, izvela ona muzha
Da-li v zelen sad svela
Izvela muzha
Da v zelen sad svela
Oh, v zelenom, da vo sadu
Muzha, da povesila
Povesila muzha
Sama domoj poshla
Oj, ko dvoru ona prishla
Da-li na skam'ju sela
Ko dvoru prishla
Da na skam'ju sela
Oj, na skam'ju ona sela
Da-li gor'ko zaplakala
Na skam'ju sela
Gor'ko zaplakala
Oj, proklinala svoju zhizn'
Da-li vse za muzhem zhit'
Proklinala zhizn'
Da vse za muzhem zhit'
Oj, kak s muzhom i-to zhona
Da li v dome gospozha
Kak s muzhom zhena
Da v dome gospozha
Oh, bez muzha-li to zhona
Da-li gor'ka-sirota
Pojdu v zelen sad
Da stanu muzha zvat'
Oh, muzh ty, muzhe ty moj muzh
Da-li ty golubchik moj
Uzh-ty muzh moj muzh
Da, ty golubchik moj
Oh, ty golubchik moj
Da-li my pojdem domoj

Winter-winter
Cold winter
Oh, winter don't freeze
good young fellow

Don't freeze, winter,
Good young fellow.
Oy, how wife with husband
lives with no harmony

How wife with husband
lives with no harmony
Oh, in harmony she lives not.

She did not live in harmony
Yes, her husband she has plagued
Oh, plagued her husband
And in the green garden she brought him

Plagued her husband
Yes, to the green garden she has brought him
Oh, in the green garden
Her husband she had hung

She hung her husband
Alone she went home
Oy to court she had approached
And on the bench she has sat.

To court she had approached
On the bench she has sat
Oy, on the bench she has sat
And bitterly wept.

On the bench she has set
bitterly wept
Oy, she cursed her life
that she lived with husband.

She is cursing her life
When she lived with her husband
Oy, while with her husband she
was a housewife.

When she was with husband
she was a housewife
Oh,When she was with husband
she was a housewife

When she was with husband
she was a housewife
Oh, Without a husband wife is
but a bitter poor woman.

She went to the green garden
And called her husbands name
Oh, husband, you are my husband
You are my darling

You are husband, my husband
Yes, you are my darling
Oh, you are my darling
Yes, we shall go home.
