Volga

Volga, Ivan and Katyusha1 ride on the shore
Long is the road
Volga, save this love, show that it's right
Take it somewhere safe
Now Ivan whips his steed
Into a run and the Tsar's men are on their heels and the smell of little Katja's hair is mixed with such immeasurable fear
 
Refrain:
Volga, Volga, love or death, fear and persecution, ho ho ho ho ho, hey!
Volga, Volga, wild and free, you cannot be imprisoned, ha ha ha ha ha, hey!
Volga, Volga, love or death, fear and persecution, ho ho ho ho ho, hey!
Volga, Volga, show us to Caspia,2 there we will be safe, ha ha ha ha ha
 
Volga, waiting for the night sends Ivan and Katyusha mad
Volga, their steed is already panting,
Must they surrender? No, never
They would never see the sea
So Ivan turns towards their attacker and the Volga's mud mixes with blood
And the current carries it to Caspia
 
Refrain
 
If we never see the sea
would you stay there next to me?
If we never see the sea
I would be yours forever until the end
 
Refrain
 
Volga, Volga, love or death, fear and persecution, ho ho ho ho ho, hey!
Volga, Volga, wild and free, you cannot be imprisoned, ha ha ha ha ha, hey!
