Set down, set down clear sun, set down in the dark
and you clear oh, moon, run and drown yourself.
Sorrow forest, sorrow my sister, let us sorrow together
you for your leaves, forest, my sister, me i will sorrow for my youth.
Your leaves, forest, my sister, will return again.
My youth, forest, my sister, will never come back

thank you
Won’t you sink bright sunshine (Zajdi, zajdi)
Won’t you sink bright sunshine
Disappear into the dark
And you clear moonlight too
Go away, drown yourself
Sorrow forest, my sorrowful sister
Let us sorrow together
You for your leaves, forest
Me for my youth.
Your leaves, forest – my sister,
Are going to return
My youth, forest – my sister,
Is not coming back.
