See the little birch in the meadow
See the leaves a-dancing when the wind blows
Loo li loo, when the wind blows
Loo li loo, when the wind blows
From the little tree take three branches
Make three silver flutes from silver branches
Loo li loo, silver branches
Loo li loo, silver branches
recorder verse (see below)
From a branch I’ll carve a balalaika
With the flutes I’ll play my balalaika
Loo li loo, balalaika
Loo li loo, balalaika
As I play my tingling balalaika
I’ll remember you, my little birch tree
Loo li loo, little birch tree
Loo li loo, little birch tree
