Cossack Ivan

There was a Cossack standing on the mountain, praying to God.
For freedom, for the people, I bowed low:

Oy-sya, you oy-sya, don't be afraid of me.
I won't touch you - don't worry.

And the Cossack also asked for truth for the people.:

If there is Truth on earth, there will be Freedom.

The Cossack prayed for his friends - that greed and pride would pass them by in a foreign land.

So that wives, fathers and children can wait
Those who seek the Mother Truth throughout the world.

The Cossack asked for the people:

yes blessings,
So that there would be bread and salt in peaceful villages.
So that blood does not flow at the father's threshold,
So that there is no injustice to live in

he prayed to God.

This is how the Cossack prayed for his native land, so that neither grief nor tears would touch it.

You were a simple young peasant girl. You and your friends were making wreaths of wildflowers and having fun. You got separated from the group and got lost until you bumped into a guy—a Cossack. He had a sword on his belt but no shirt. Apparently, he had just come out of the water. You hid behind a tree and quietly watched him, admiring him. But it so happened that you snapped a branch and he noticed you. You hid behind the tree. He came closer and said:

Oy-sya, you oy-sya, don't be afraid of me.
I won't touch you - don't worry.
