Postcards in Ukrainian style

This is the first line of the famous work of the Ukrainian poet Taras Shevchenko:

Make love, O dark browed beauties
But not with the Muscovites,
For the Muscovites - are foreign people,
They make trouble with you,
 
The Muscovie loves - jokingly,
Then jokingly he'll leave you;
Returning to his Muscovie,
The maiden left then dying
 
The Muscovite loves - then will leave you
Returning to his Muscovie,
The maiden left then dying
 
If it be you only, it would be nothing,
And yet there's an old mother,
Who brought you into this God's world,
Must yet also perish.
 
The heart faints singing,
When it knows what it's for;
People see not the heart
But say - you're just lazy!
 
The heart faints singing,
When it knows what it's for;
People see not the heart
But say - you're just lazy!
 
One two three four....
 
O maiden you did not listen
To father, nor your mother,
You had loved the Muscovite,
As the dear heart knew.
 
She had loved the youth,
Gone there into the orchard,
When you alone, your fate
There lead it into ruins.
 
She loved, gone into the orchard
When you alone, your fate
There lead it into ruins.
 
I'm - a cowboy!
But I'm - a Muscovite!
 
One two three four....
 
Make love, O dark browed beauties'
But not with the Muscovites,
For the Muscovites - are foreign people,
They make trouble with you,
 
The Muscovite loves - jokingly,
Then jokingly he'll leave you;
Returning to his Muscovie,
The maiden left then dying
 
The Muscovite loves - then he'll leave you
Returning to his Muscovie,
The maiden left then dying
