Someone tried to comment provide a transcript in the comments, but I gather it's in a Ukrainian dialect?

Part 1 In English:
"9 Sundays"
Three months have passed, nine Sundays
If I don't hear from my sweetheart affectionate words
But don't fall, little girl, you've lost him
I kept asking, what's wrong, darling, what haven't you said
Look, pretty darling, look, look
How cheerful those mountains are, where we used to go
Oh, where we used to go—I wouldn't go anymore
And who we loved—I wouldn't love anymore
Oh, green cucumbers, yellow flowers
My sweetheart is gone, black eyes are crying
My sweetheart is gone, he's not here
Already following his footsteps, the rutka has followed
Then on that path—the green grass
I'm no longer yours, you're not mine, sweet darling
Oh, a little path, a little path, a little path
Not my Milanochka, nor am I Milanchik.
Oh! How I was seven years old and a widow
And had no land under me
Oh! How my enemies attacked me:
Get married, or drown!
I did human destiny—
I got married, I bowed my head
I got married, and I don't regret it anymore
I thought I would come back.
And when the dry oaks bear apples
Then I will, nicely and lovingly, go to you
On the other side, by the grove, a horse grazes in the saddle
If I don't love it—I won't take it, even if it were in silver
A snowball fell on my feet, but everything is lost
My sweetie got married,
and now he's repenting [repenting]
And if they had come together [come together]—
the dry oaks would have blossomed
And when we parted—
the green ones withered [withered]
Part 2, in Ukrainian:
«9 неділечок»
Вже минуло три місяці, девʼять неділечок
Як не чую од милої ласкових словечок
Та не падай, дівчинонько, що його пропала
Я все питав, чим не люба, що ти не казала
Подивися, файно-любко, подиви, подиви
Як ті гори веселенькі, куди ми ходили
Ой, куди ми бо ходили— вже би не ходити
А кого ми полюбили—вже би не любити
Ой, зелені огірочки, жовтенькі квіточки
Нема мого миленького, плачуть чорні очки
Нема мого миленького, нема єго тутка
Вже за їго слідочками посходи…](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:nogblkcfbhd4wydiwjnvhxbz/bafkreichhstx2bdl3cjey46ohju3zuxx7qi6gishp6n4drxfvf46fw7iwe@jpeg)
