Russian songs translated: ‘Oh, frost, frost!’ (Sing with us)
This song is so widely known in Russia that it is considered to be ancient folk. People often sing it at gatherings and get-togethers. It’s a very Russian thing to “ask Frost” not to freeze you! And that's exactly what the song is about.

ОЙ, МОРОЗ-МОРОЗ
OH, FROST-FROST
Ой, мороз-мороз, не морозь меня,
Не морозь меня, моего коня.
Oh, frost-frost, don't freeze me
Don't freeze me nor my horse
Не морозь меня, моего коня,
Моего коня белогривого.
Don't freeze me, my horse,
My white-maned horse
Моего коня белогривого.
У меня жена, ох, ревнивая.
My white-maned horse.
My wife is, oh, so jealous
У меня жена, ох, красавица,
Ждет меня домой, ждёт-печалится.
My wife is, oh, so beautiful
She waits for me at home, waiting and sad
Как приду домой на закате дня,
Обниму жену, напою коня.
When I come home at sunset,
I’ll hug my wife and hydrate the horse.
