A beautiful Russian folk song about a young girl waiting for her love to return home from war. A classic we all know, now in English!

Lyrics:

Apple trees and pear trees were a-blooming
O'er the river hung the morning mist
Out to shore went a little girl, Katyusha
To the edge of a steep and rocky cliff
Out to shore went a little girl, Katyusha
To the edge of a steep and rocky cliff

As she walked, she sang a little love song
To a giant eagle of the steppe
To the eagle, she sang about her loved one
Of her dear whose letters she had kept
To the eagle, she sang about her loved one
Of her dear whose letters she had kept

Oh, the song, the song that you have sung me
Fly away, the sun will lead you there
Find your hero in the foreign country
Greet him well, Katyusha, when you're there
Find your hero in the foreign country
Greet him well, Katyusha, when you're there

Let him not forget his simple maiden
Let him hear the love song that she sends
Let him know as he serves for his homeland
Dear Katyusha, your love he will defend
Let him know as he serves for his homeland
Dear Katyusha, your love he will defend

Apple trees and pear trees were a-blooming
O'er the river hung the morning mist
Out to shore went a little girl, Katyusha
To the edge of a steep and rocky cliff
Out to shore went a little girl, Katyusha
To the edge of a steep and rocky cliff

Rastsvetali yabloni i grushi,
Paplyli tumany nad rekoy.
Vykhodila na bereg Katyusha,
Na vysokii bereg na krutoy.
Vykhodila na bereg Katyusha,
Na vysokii bereg na krutoy.
