The green rye is green?

Original lyrics
Зеленеє жито, зелене
Зеленеє жито, зелене,
Хорошії гості у мене.
Зеленеє жито женці жнуть,
Хорошії гості мене ждуть.
Зеленеє жито, зелене,
Хорошії гості у мене.
Зеленеє жито при межі,
Хорошії гості від душі.
Зеленеє жито, зелене,
Хорошії гості у мене.
Зеленеє жито за селом,
Хорошії гості за столом.
Зеленеє жито, зелене,
Хорошії гості у мене.
Зеленеє жито ще й овес,
Тут зібрався рід наш увесь.
Зеленеє жито, зелене,
Хорошії гості у мене.
А вже ж тая хата всім мала,
Бо уся родинонька прийшла.

The rye is green, it is green
Green is the rye, it is green,
Fine guests I have with me.
The rye is green, the reapers reap,
My fine guests do wait for me
Green is the rye, it is green,
Fine guests I have with me.
The rye is green, by the furrow,
My fine guests are from my soul.
Green is the rye, it is green,
Fine guests I have with me.
The rye is green, beyound the village.
My fine guests sit at my table.
Green is the rye, it is green,
Fine guests I have with me.
The rye is green, the oats as well,
Here all our relations have come together. (generations)
Green is the rye, it is green,
Fine guests I have with me.
And for all this house already's too small,
For all my family's come together.

The rye is green not dry, brown, and gone to seed. The rye is young, growing , vibrant, and abundant. It is near her, her home, yard, and beyond the village. It is her family and in-laws, the oats, that prosper all around her. Her beautiful, fine guests. The generations that surround her. Everything is alive - there's joy!

wouldn't that be zeleniye rather than zelene ye. it seems to make more sense. rye ripens, flowers, turns brown, is then gathered. I wondered about that as well , and the symbolism of the song

Озимую рожь, которая по весне является самым быстрорастущим растением, скашивают зеленой, как корм скоту, чтобы поддержать его после зимы. Раз озимая рожь зеленая и сочная - значит и скот будет крепким, значит год будет урожайным. По тому, какая густая озимая рожь, люди судили о будущем урожае. Поэтому все так радуются, что рожь зеленеет и косят ее на корм, пока она зеленая и сочная. Тут, между прочим, все говорят по-русски. Привет Алекс и Анатолий! ;)
Russia is waging a disgraceful war on Ukraine. Stand With Ukraine!
