Song by Matti Jurva
Lyrics by Tatu Pekkarinen
Far away a maiden blossomed
Like an exotic dark-hued flower
She was famous for her beauty
That pearl of Olonets
Anya, Anya, you were courted by Vasily and Vanya -
Politruk1 and commissar2
But you abandoned them both
Anya, Anya, you abanoned Vasily and Vanya
You were, in deed, famous for your beauty
You, dark girl, the pearl of Olonets
A brave son of the North
Came to Olonets
And he took the beautiful Anya
As his loved one
