Katiusha (Russian Folk Tune)

I have transcribed a little Russian folk tune called Katiusha (Kitten)

LYRICS

Russian

Ras-tsve-ta-li, yab-lo-ni i grushi,

Po-pli-li tu mah-nie nad re-koi.

Vykhodila na bereg katiusha

Na-vie sokii bereg na krutoi.

Vykhodila na bereg katiusha

Na-vie sokii bereg na krutoi.

Vykhodila pesnyu zavodila,

Pro stepnova cisova orla.

Pro tovo kotorovo lyubila

Pro tovo che pisma beregla.

Pro tovo kotorovo lyubila

Pro tovo che pisma beregla.

Pust' on vspomnit dyevushku prostuyu,

Pust' uslishet kak ana poyat,

Pust' on zemlyu berezhët rodnuyu

A lyubov' Katiusha sberezhët.

Pust' on zemlyu berezhët rodnuyu

A lyubov' Katiusha sberezhët.

Repeat first verse.

English (from Rubin & Stillman, A Russian Song Book Vintage Books, NY, 1964

Apple trees and pear trees were a-flower.

River mist was rising all around.

Young Katiusha went strolling by the hour.

On the steep banks, o'er the rocky ground.

By the river's bank she sang a love song,

Of her hero in a distant land.

Of the one she'd dearly loved for so long,

Holding tight his letters in her hand.

Let him know that I am true and faithful,

Let him hear the love song that I send.

Tell him as he defends our home, that grateful,

True Katiusha our love will defend.

It's in E Ionian
