Cosakens are born to ride; they have this passion; it’s their passionate past-time and also lifestyle!
Overheads, the sky is clear; the stars shine bright,
Indoors, the Samovar teapot glows in the flame; keeps the content warm
Meanwhile, the echoes of gallops emanate from afar
The heartbeats and the gallops jive in perfect harmony, as in a choral!
Refrain: Hey-, hey-, Heyi!
Kosacks must ride; yes, throughout their entire lives; they ride faster than the wind; 'cause they are born for it!
As we ride and hunt over the mountain tops
the fog in front gradually rises; makes way for us
The powerful hooves (hoof; foot- കുളമ്പുi) stomp the ground in their gallops
The vast land that stretches ahead of us is all ours; yes, it belongs to us!
Hey-, hey-, Heyi!
Refrain:
No one cares to ask when will tomorrow come
or how the next day is going to shape up
nor " will the sun shine hot and bright for us?"
Well, for the moment, darkness and homesickness are our best buddies!
In spite of it, we enjoy every bit of it!
Hey-, hey-,hey- ,
