In the valley, in the meadow, Hear the maidens sing, dancing in a ring! By the river over wet sands, drifting fog abounds. By the river in the woodlands, hear the bayan's sounds. Tirinara, tirina, tirinara, tirina. In the valley, in the meadow, see the girls go by. Lively, zestfully there they tarry, sing with joyful eye! Hear the maidens sing, dancing in a ring!
