Chaif - Oi-yo

Translation by Victoria Khromova

There’s no word from old friends – makes me sad. 

And after reading the fresh newspapers – my soul is empty 

And even the old ones aren’t that entertaining. 

But there was that old army friend, he’s left now. 

Oiy-yo, Oiy-yo, Oiy-yo 

My neighbour’s started drinking, they’re having problems at the factory. 

There’s trouble with tea – we’ve only got one packet left. 

There’s a note in the kitchen that says “don’t wait for me, will stay at Galya’s”. 

And they’re dressing up on the telly, how can we go on, I’m sick of it. 

Oiy-yo, Oiy-yo, Oiy-yo 

If I got to bed now, I’d get up in the morning and go fishing. 

Whatever I’d catch I’d give to my friends, I wouldn’t be stingy. 

The moon has appeared and it’s climbing persistently higher and higher. 

I think I’m going to start howling now with all my might, but no-one will hear. 

Oiy-yo, Oiy-yo, Oiy-yo
