And the three Rada’s brothers .

They are siting up in the high

And looking around

and have giving a big bet

Which is going to venture

the tree Sycamore to overjump

to count its leaves

and take thus beautiful Rada

Nobody has ventured

the Sycamore to overjump.

Tatar boy is going round the village

He is bending down to earth

Took a white pebble

had overjumped the Sycamore tree

counted its leaves

and is going to take beautiful Rada

But Rada is crying, she doesn’t want him

she went to the green forest

lit big fires

them away fine presents

Tuhrowing and saying:

“Burn You damn things,

because Rada can’t give You to anione

to any Tatars, or Tatar women
