Ночь осенняя, любезная, ночь осенняя, хоть глаз коли. О, спасибо тебе, ноченька, ночь осенняя. Не боявшись, можно мне теперь С девицей - душой посиживать; Говорить ей про любовь мою, Про любовь мою. Злые люди не увидят нас В ночь осеннюю, хоть глаз коли; О, спасибо тебе, ноченька, Ночь осенняя.

Autumn night full of love, Autumn night, if the eye could see. O, thanks to you, Night, Autumn night. Without fear, I now can share my soul with the girl; To tell her about my love, about my love. Evil people will not see us On the autum night, if the eye could see; O, thanks to you, little night Autumn night.
