1. A great dark fog is gathering, Stoiane It wasn't, it wasn't a great dark fog, but it was very much a sad boyar wedding.

2. Ahead of the wedding a well-fed horse was leading, On the horse was a young maiden, On her head a red kerchief fluttered.

3. On the red kerchief three trinkets trembled, How they trembled on her head, was how Stoian's heart trembled for the maiden!.
