	I'D TAKE A BANDURA... Where Crimea lies behind the mountains Where the Sun is shining There is my beloved Dove is flying She covered herself from me With both the sky and the earth, And I am left alone An orphan forever. I don't eat the whole day At night I'm not sleeping, Just torments alone I have to endure in this world It's all because of the eyes... If only I had them, I would give my soul For those brown eyes Marusen'ka, beloved, Have pity on me,- Take my heart, And give me back yours! I'd take a bandura And play what I knew It's because of those eyes I've become a bandura player

	BANDURYST, GREY EAGLE Banduryst, grey eagle! It's so good for you, brother: You have wings, you have strength, You have time for flying. Now, you are flying to Ukraine- People look forward to see you, I would like to follow you But who's gonna greet me there.
