The car is rattling.

1. The carriage is rattling, ; The whip is cracking, ; Maybe they are coming for me, ; Maybe they are taking me. ; ; 2. I haven't even said goodbye ; To my mother, to my father, ; To my girlfriends, ; To my bachelor friends. ; ; 3. Gather me up, mother, gather me up, ; Braid my hair ; In fives and sixes, ; In two silk threads. ; ; 4. If you don't braid it now, ; Don't braid it again ; In fives and sixes, ; In two silk threads. ; ; 5. Weep, mother, weep, ; While I walk before you, ; Then don't weep, ; When I set out on my journey. ; ; 6. Accompany me, mother, accompany me, ; Only to the gate, ; Then I'll leave ; Alone myself.
