A little girl is a fool if she goes to the border

Song

1. A little girl, when she goes out to the border,
She ties a pair of shoes straight to her feet,
She ties a pair of shoes straight to her feet,
That's how she picks up the many orders in her line.

2. A little girl, you don't sleep at night,
Until the wheat in the field is cut.
The time for midnight has already come,
Half of the wheat in the field is already cut.

3. I am pale as a poplar leaf,
The love of a brown young man makes me pale.
From four o'clock to eleven to harvest,
Oh, but you have to work for your bread.

4. I ask the chieftains,
Let my baby out of work,
Brown boy, it can't be out,
Until the wheat goes into the granary.

5. Oh, how hard, oh, how long is the road,
On which the little girl gets home.
She's tired, her legs are collapsing,
Her bed is made of straw in the barn.

6. They get up every morning at dawn,
The chieftain gives the order.
Go out to the grain field,
Finish the work in its turn.

7. Come, girls, let's weave a wreath of flowers,
Let's celebrate the harvest era.
Let it harvest for you for a long time,
To the very end of human history.
