Three Sisters

(sang in Russian - transcribed by Bing Chat)

Three sisters, three sisters
They went to the river
They washed their clothes
They sang a song

Three sisters, three sisters
They saw a young man
He was handsome and brave
He smiled at them

Three sisters, three sisters
They fell in love with him
They wanted to marry him
They asked him to choose

Three sisters, three sisters
He looked at them carefully
He said
“You are all beautiful But I can’t love you all”

Three sisters, three sistеrs
They cried and they bеgged him
They said
“Please, don’t leave us We can’t live without you”

Three sisters, three sisters
He said
“I’m sorry, my dears But I have to go away I have another love”

Three sisters, three sisters
They were heartbroken and angry
They cursed him and his love
They threw themselves into the river

Three sisters, three sisters
They became three fishes
They swam in the water
They sang a sad song
