Shagane, Dear My, Shagane!
Shagane, Dear My, Shagane! - meaning Summary
Northern Longing and Home
The speaker addresses Shagane in a simple, lyrical voice, framing his northern origin as shaping his memories and affections. Rural images—wavy rye, a large moon, and curly hair—tie romantic longing to landscape. He contrasts foreign charm with local Ryazan spaces, and oscillates between affectionate teasing and melancholy wonder whether another girl up north thinks of him. The poem blends homesickness with tender, wistful courtship.

It's because I'm from North, isn't it, Where the Moon has enormous size, And despite all the charm of Shiraz, Ryazan spaces are better a bit. It's because I'm from North, isn't it. I am ready to tell you a field, Curly hair I got from a rye, If you like, reel on finger in round - There is no pain I actually feel. I am ready to tell you a field. Wavy rye, when the Moon shining there, See in waves of my hair. Oh darling, Just make jokes, be so funny and smiling, That I wouldn't remember again Wavy rye, when the Moon shining there. Shagane, dear my, Shagane! Far away on the North is a girl, She is similar to you with all, And I wonder if she thinks of me... Shagane, dear my, Shagane.
