Translated lyrics
Refrain: Under a little tree, two boys sit and talk about a girl. They do not care about anything else. 1. One of the boys describes the miraculous things that happened to him. The other boy interrupts him to describe similar things that happened to him in exactly the same way. Refrain 2. He used to spend whle days running around her house. He would spend there hours at a tme, forgetting about meals Refrain 3. Stormy winds, rain, snow - nothing frigtened them, not even mother who waited for them at home with a stick to beat them. Refrain. 4. Then father came with a big belt, with which he counted their bones, and drove them away. Refrain.
