dolia nashei vioski
This is a phrase from a poem by Yanka Kupala (I only have it in this transliteration). From the description in the text I can't determine which poem it is; the description says that it's 'a sad folksong by Yanka Kupala about village poverty, lapti and sermyages, tears of the Virgin Mary; taverns, prisons, crosses and birches – this is our dolia. I'm looking for a translation of the phrase, and if anyone could identify the poem, it would be amazing!
