00:00:25.280 --> 00:00:32.440
Through the wild steppes of Transbaikalia,
where gold is mined in the mountains.

00:00:32.760 --> 00:00:39.960
A vagabond, cursing his fate,
dragged himself along, a sack on his shoulders.

00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:55.400
The vagabond approaches Baikal,
takes a fisherman's boat.

00:00:55.720 --> 00:01:01.480
Strikes up a mournful song — something
about his homeland

00:01:11.440 --> 00:01:16.840
Ah, you, my fate, my fate.

00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:22.880
Fate, oh fate of mine.

00:01:24.160 --> 00:01:29.400
Ah, why have you, my fate,

00:01:30.880 --> 00:01:35.840
brought me all the way to Siberia.

00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:55.640
And not for drunkenness [can I be blamed].

00:01:56.120 --> 00:02:07.520
And not for nighttime robbery — and I lost [my freedom]

00:02:08.640 --> 00:02:14.000
for the sake of the honest peasant folk.

00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:48.800
And.
