Dainos žodžiai:
Per lygias lankas lietutis lijo,
: Jaunas bernelis vainelėn jojo. :
Vai nustok lijęs, skaudus lietuti,
: Oi sustok jojęs, jaunas berneli. :
Oi sustok jojęs, jaunas berneli –
: Atsisveinkinkie tėvų motiną. :
Negaliu sustot, žirgo sustabdyt,
: Mano žirgelis – nesustabdomas. :
Mano žirgelis – nesusutabdomas,
: Mano širdelė – nesutramdoma. :
English lyrics:
Through the even meadows, the rain was raining,
: Young lad was riding to the war. :
Oh, please stop raining, the painful rain,
: Oh, please stop riding, the young lad. :
Oh, please stop riding, the young lad –
: Say goodbye to your father and mother. :
– I can not stop riding, can not stop the horse,
: My horse is unstoppable. :
My horse is unstoppable,
: My heart is untamable. :
