Verse 1

You came laughing through the garden gate,

One red ribbon, two glasses on a crate.

I had a little silver ring to give,

You said, “This is how a good night starts to live.”

We spun around till the neighbors clapped,

You stole my jacket, I stole your hat.

Then morning came with a different view—

I kept the ring, but I lost you.

Chorus

Davnym-davno

Temnoy nochkoy na krylechke

Davnym-davno

Podaril tebe kolechko

Zachem, zachem

Podaril tebe kolechko?

Zachem, zachem

Otdala ty mne serdechko?
