Aninka tanzte
Vor uns im Grase
Hei! Hei! O Heirassassassa!
Die raschen Weisen,
Wie schön war sie! O!

Mit den gesenkten
Bescheidenen Augen,
Das stille Mädchen,
—Mich macht es toll! O!

Da sprang ein Knöpfchen
Ihr von der Jakke,
Ein goldnes Knöpfchen,
Ich fing es auf— o!

Und dachte wunder,
Was mir's bedeute,
Doch hämisch lächelt,
Jegór dazu o!

Als woll't er sagen:
Mein ist das Jäckchen
Und was es decket,
Mein ist das Mädchen,
Und dein—der Knopf! O!

Aninka’s dancing
On grass before us.
Hei! Hei! O Heirassassassa!
The tune is lively.
     How fair is she!

Her eyes so modest
and utterly downcast,
the little maiden
       —I may go mad! Oh!

Off popped a button
right from her jacket,
a golden button.
     I snapped it up —Oh!

I thought, what a wonder!,
what was its meaning?
But then malicious
    Igor just smiled. Oh!

As if to say:
Mine is the jacket
and she who wears it.
Mine is the maiden,
      And yours— the button. Oh!
