Lyrics of Yang Hongji's "the boat man of Volga"

Volga River

Russian Folk Song

Oh, hi, Ho

Oh, hi, Ho

Pull the fiber together!

Oh, hi, Ho

Oh, hi, Ho

Back up the rope, sweat!

Over the dense birch forest

Step on the uneven road of the world!

Ah, Da, ah, Da

Ah, Da, ah, Da

Through the dense birch forest

Step on the uneven road of the world!

Oh, hi, Ho

Oh, hi, Ho

Pull the fiber together!

We followed the Volga River

Sing to the sun

Ah, Da, ah, Da

Ah, Da, ah, Da

Sing to the sun

hey

hey

Try to pull the rope!

Sing to the sun

Oh, hi, Ho

Oh, hi, Ho

Pull the fiber together!

Volga's lovely mother river

The river is deep and wide

Ah, Da, ah, Da

Ah, Da, ah, Da

The river is deep and wide

Volga Volga mother river

Oh, hi, Ho

Oh, hi, Ho

Pull the fiber together

Oh, hi, Ho

Oh, hi, Ho

Carry the rope and sweat

Oh, hi, Ho

Hey, Ho, Ho
