Sztoj pa Moru

A Belarusian Folk Song

First 3 Verses:

​

Shto ee pa moru, Shto ee pa moru

Shto ee pa moru, moru siniamu

Shto ee pa moru, moru siniamu

 

Tam plavala, Tam plavala

Tam plavala stada bielikh liebiadzay

Tam plavala stada bielikh liebiadzay

 

Sa malimy, Sa malimy

Sa malimy lebiadziatami

Sa malimy lebiadziatami

Translation:

​

There by the sea, there by the sea

There floated a flock of white swans

With small ones,  With small swans (cygnets)

Where did it come from the grey white eagle?

It scattered the flock across the sea

White down floating in the sky,

Grey feathers in a green meadow

And who is gathering up the feathers

A beautiful maiden is collecting feathers.
