Trang Porushka-Poranya (English cover) A cover version of the original Russian folk song "Porushka-Poranya" by Trang, adapted for an English-speaking audience

Oh, you, Porushka-Poranya
Why love Ivan? Say to me
Love him, love him — it's for curly
Head upon him, you can see

Love him for his curly head, they say
Curly head and beard so gay
Curly head and beard so fine
That's why I love this man of mine

Curly locks down to his face
I love Vanya, my embrace
Oh, Vanyushka, Vanyok
Through the room he takes a walk

See how Vanyushka, my dear
Through the room walks without fear
Boot to boot — he stamps around
Gently clicking on the ground

Boot to boot — and with a sound
Stepping smartly on the ground
And his tender, gentle speech
Sweetest words, his heart to teach

Oh, my lady, you've dried me through
Turned me pale as morning dew
Not by frost and not by wind
You've chilled my heart from deep within

Oh, you, Porushka-Poranya
Why love Ivan? Tell me, do
Oh, and this is why I love him
For his curly head, so true

This is why I love my Ványa
Curly head, my only man
Curly head he has, you see
And his beard's as curly as can be
