Tell me...
Tell me, my little white cloud.
Where do you come from?
Where did you fly?
Didn’t you see my father’s yard?
Didn’t you hear
what my mother said?
My little white cloud,
what is my dear son doing
among foreign people?
Tell her, pleasе, my white cloud
that you saw me alive and healthy here.
Tell her “Hello” from me.
I was abroad for a long time
and little left.
Soon I’ll come back to my village
and I’ll hug my dear mother.
