In a Glade

A traditional Ukrainian folk song. Sung by Milla Jovovich from her Divine Comedy album. Contains lyrics and translation of song.

English Translation

In the forest near the Danube river,
there is a nightingale singing,
he sings to gather everyone from his family

In the forest near the Danube river,
there is a bass vibrating and a fiddle crying,
I think of a place where my lovely one is strolling now

In the forest near the Danube river,
I am sick with my loneliness,
crying, I want to fly like a bird,
to where my lovely one is now.

Spanish Translation

En un Claro

En el bosque cerca del río Danubio,
hay un ruiseñor cantando,
il canta para reunir a toda su familia

En el bosque cerca del río Danubio,
hay un bajo vibrando y un violín llorando,
Yo pienso en el lugar donde mi amor se esta paseando

En el bosque cerca del río Danubio,
Yo estoy enfermo con mi soledad,
llorando, y quiero volar como un pájaro,
a donde mi amor esta ahora.

German Translation

Im Wald nahe des Danube Flusses,
singt eine Nachtigal,
sie singt um jeden aus der Familie zusammenzurufen

Im Wald nahe des Danube Flusses,
vibriert ein Bass und eine Fidel kreischt,

Ich denke an einen Ort wo mein Liebling sich grad rumtollt
Im Wald nahe des Danube Flusses,
Bin ich krank von meiner Einsamkeit,
weine, ich will wie ein Vogel fliegen,
dahin wo jetzt mein Liebling ist.

About In A Glade (Excerpt)

The lyrics of the song tell the story of a girl who can't get away to see her paramour; he is far away, because of the war with the Turks of the Ottoman Empire.

She said that the song is a very widely known Ukrainian (not Russian) folk song of the "lyrical" variety, dating from the 1600s, when the Turks of the Ottoman Empire were trying to conquer the areas of Ukraine, as well as other parts of Europe. Another type of folk song is the historical, which reports on events.

(Richard Handal)
