Poplars by the Stream
By the stream, poplars tall, like camels standing all in all
Green leaves sprout, green leaves sprout, no end to my love, no doubt
Let the earth consume my pain, let it all be in vain
Come to me, come to me, in your fancy dress, come to me
Let's go, my love, let's flee, before they come and see
No fear in our hearts, no fear in our hearts
Foreign girl, Chechen girl, you in colors, me in red swirl
Up the mountain, let's go high, you pick roses, I'll pick lilies nigh
Come on, darling, side by side, side by side, side by side
We ain't scared of a thing, no need to hide
Oh, the troubles, troubles, oh the troubles, troubles
What will come of this, how will it all bubble
Men's sins, they will pay, women's fate, they will say
Ask the ladies, they'll have their say
Foreign girl, Chechen girl, you in colors, me in red swirl
Up the mountain, let's go high, you pick roses, I'll pick lilies nigh
Come on, darling, side by side, side by side, side by side
We ain't scared of a thing, no need to hide
