Улетал соловушко далёко,
во чужую тёплую сторонку.
Улетал соловушко далёко,
во чужую тёплую сторонку.
Вы прощайте, люди добрые, на долго,
улететь пора моя настала!
На долго прощаюсь с вами, люди!
Улететь пора моя настала!
И спасибо вам за вашу любовь, за ласку,
что меня, соловушку, не гнали,
песни петь мне, соловью, не мешали,
малых деток моих не забижали!
И остался б я теперь с вами,
да лиха беда ваши морозы;
не люблю зимы вашей белой,
не люблю я буйного ветра!
А уж как весна красна вернётся,
с ней и я вернусь к вам с новой песней,
я вернусь к вам с новой песней!

The little nightingale
Language: English after the Russian (Русский)
The little nightingale flew far away,
Into a warm foreign little country,
The little nightingale flew far away,
Into a warm foreign little country.
Farewell, kind people, for a long while,
My time begins to fly away!
People, for a long time I will be parted from you!
My time begins to fly away!
And thank you for your love, for the affection,
That didn't drive me, a little nightingale, away,
That didn't hinder me, the nightingale, in singing songs,
That didn't run ahead of my small little children!
I would even now remain with you,
But for the misfortunate evil of your frosts;
I do not love your white winter,
I do not love the wild wind!
But even as the beautiful spring returns,
With her, I also return to you with a new song,
I will return to you with a new song!
