Original text and translations

German text Aninka tanzte Vor uns im Grase Hei! Hei! O Heirassassassa! Die raschen Weisen, Wie schön war sie! Mit den gesenkten Bescheidenen Augen, Das stille Mädchen, —Mich macht es toll! O! Da sprang ein Knöpfchen Von ihrer Jacke, Ein goldnes Knöpfchen, Ich fing es auf— o! Und dachte wunder, Was mir's bedeute, Doch hämisch lächelt, Jegór dazu o! Als woll't er sagen: Mein ist das Jäckchen Und was es decket, Mein ist das Mädchen, Und dein—der Knopf! O!

English translation Aninka’s dancing On grass before us. Hei! Hei! O Heirassassassa! The tune is lively.      How fair is she! Her eyes so modest and utterly downcast, the little maiden        —I may go mad! Oh! Off popped a button right from her jacket, a golden button.      I snapped it up —Oh! I thought, what a wonder!, what was its meaning? But then malicious     Igor just smiled. Oh! As if to say: Mine is the jacket and she who wears it. Mine is the maiden,       And yours— the button. Oh!
