Volga Boat Song
Yo heave ho! Yo heave ho!
Once more, once more, Yo heave ho!
Pull the barge 'gainst the river's tide,
CHORUS:
Volga River stretching far and wide.
Ai da da, ai da, ai da da, ai da,
Pull the barge 'gainst the river's tide,
Yo heave ho! Yo heave ho!
Yo heave ho! Yo heave ho!
As the barges float along,
To the sun we sing our song…
Yo heave ho! Yo heave ho!
Volga, Volga our pride,
Mighty stream so deep and wide…
Eyy, ookh-nyem! (eyy as in "play", but sung ei-yoohkhnyem) Eyy, ookh-nyem!
Ye-shcho raz ee, ye-eshcho-da raz! (ye as in yes)
Ra-zo-vyom miy ber-yo-zoo, (mi, the "i" being short but with an almost
silent y at the end as in "miue"
Raz-o-vyom miy koo-drya-voo, Ai da da, ai da, ai da da, ai da, Ra-zo-vyom
miy koo-drya-voo.
Chorus
Miy po byer-yezh-koo i-dyom, Pye-snyu sol-nish-koo poy-yom… (sol as is
"soul")
Ai da da, ai da, ai da da, ai da, Pye-snyu sol-nish-koo poy-yom… Chorus
Ekh, tiy, Vol-ga, ma-tryeka, Shee-ro-ka ee gloo-bo-ka…
Ai da da, ai da, ai da da, ai da, Shee-ro-ka ee gloo-boka…
all r's are pronounced with a roll – rrrrrr!
Ei, ookhnyem! Ei, ookhnyem!
Yeshcho razik, yeshcho raz!
Razovyom mi beryozoo,
CHORUS:
Razovyom mi koodriavoo,
Ai da da, ai da, ai da da, ai da,
Razovyom mi koodriavoo,
Ei, ookhnyem! Ei, ookhnyem!
Ei, ookhnyem! Ei, ookhnyem!
Mi po berezhkoo idyom,
Pyesniu solnishkoo poyom…
Ei, ookhnyem! Ei, ookhnyem!
Ekh, ti, Volga, matreka,
Shiroka i glooboka…

The version we sang in school years ago:
Yo heave ho, yo heave ho
Haul my brothers
Yo heave ho
When the waves at daybreak shine
Bend your shoulders
To the line
Swiftly the river
Flowing for ever
Haul my brothers
Yo heave ho
There is more, I believe, but this is really an adaptation, not a true translation.
Good luck finding the exact lyrics.
