It is non-ritual Belarusian folk song, very popular and connected to "girls and marriage" topic. Lyrics tells the story about a girl that was dancing and lost her keys. She promises to marry anyone who finds it. The keys were found by an old man who asks her to marry him, but the girl refuses and says that it's better to lose the keys forever than to marry an old man.

Marriages between young girls and old men were quite often in our past, and it was not fun. But the ambiguously colored text gives the performer opportunity to choose his own intonation, from humorous to dramatic. I tried to choose serious and even dark tone.

Ja skakała-plasała prociŭ novaha dvara
Oj, loli, kalina, loli, jahada maja
Paciarała klučy z šaŭkovaha pojasa
Oj, loli, kalina, loli, jahada maja
Chto maje klučy znajdzieć, za taho zamuž pajdu
Oj, loli, kalina, loli, jahada maja
Stary ranieńka išoŭ, maje klučyki znajšoŭ
Oj, loli, kalina, loli, jahada maja
Oj ty dzieuka-dziavica, ci ty pojdzieš za mianie?
Oj, loli, kalina, loli, jahada maja
Ci ty pojdzieš za mianie - addam klučyki tvaje
Oj, loli, kalina, loli, jahada maja
Prapadajcie klučy, jak za staraha jdučy
Oj, loli, kalina, loli, jahada maja

Я скакала-плясала процiў новага двара
Ой, лёлi, калiна, лёлi, ягада мая
Пацярала ключы з шаўковага пояса
Ой, лёлi, калiна, лёлi, ягада мая
Хто мае ключы знайдзець, за таго замуж пайду
Ой, лёлi, калiна, лёлi, ягада мая
Стары раненька iшоў, мае ключыкі знайшоў
Ой, лёлi, калiна, лёлi, ягада мая
Ой ты дзеука-дзявіца, цi ты пойдзеш за мяне?
Ой, лёлi, калiна, лёлi, ягада мая
Цi ты пойдзеш за мяне - аддам ключыкi твае
Ой, лёлi, калiна, лёлi, ягада мая
Прападайце ключы, як за старaга йдучы
Ой, лёлi, калiна, лёлi, ягада мая
