Les Noces in concert

Once there was a bezeke that rolled against another bezeke
‘One bezeke made a bow to the other bezeke
Ai loeli, loeli, loeli, loeshenki, ai loeli!
That bezeke was clean, clean!...ai loeli!
That little jarrebezeke that was ripe, ripe!...ai loeshenki loeli, ai loeli!
‘One bezeke said a kind word to another bezeke
‘One bezeke grew not so far from another bezeke
‘One bezeke was called Fetishoeke venteke
‘t Ander bezeke was called Nastasjoeke zoeteke
