My son asked me to translate a "romance" - a russian city folk song. The language is the archaic russian, not used nowadays.

The line is: "nemoj toski moej ne mnozh'"

I've translated it as "my mute depression don't multiply" and we are all still hysterical.

Do you have a better translation?

If you can figure a way to repost the line using Cyrillic, the Russian speakers and readers here (not me, sorry) will be able to give a pretty close translation. I don't think many Russians can read transliterations.

I am going to try and help with not so literary translation, but hopefully a slightly better fitting than the automated one:

"Don't let/make my silent sorrow grow deeper"


PS. Cyrillic transcription should not be necessary for bilingual speakers.

"The vodka is good but the meat's spoiled."

LOL Robbie that's why a pickle is used

Bardo, thank you, but I don't know how to use cyrillics here.

Enroute, you are the winner! I love your translation!
