Hello! I'm performing a Russian folk song (well, several) at a concert soon, and though I know the gist of one of the song's text, I need a more or less accurate translation for the program notes and have never been able to figure out one of the stanzas:

"Мальчик, да ты, мальчик молоденький. Эх, да разудалая головушка моя!"

Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Hey, fellow, young fellow,
And me, madcap and dare-devil

NB: In a folk text it may mean one person - 'me'.

+1. The singer/teller in Russian folklore often is both subject and object of the story/song.
