Examples

“Гарадчукі [...] варылі на святы цукровую вату і лёды, пяклі абаранкі і смачныя пернікі, булачкі з ваніллю.”

The inhabitants of Davyd-Haradok … cooked cotton candy and ice cream for holidays, baked bread rolls and tasty spice cakes, vanilla patties.

“На ніжняй талерцы паціху плавіліся “італьянскія лёды”, і кожны сервіз стаяў на круглым люстэрку.”

On the bottom plate, “Italian ice cream” was slowly melting, and each dish set was standing on a round mirror.

“Ужо бліжэй да Мінска атакай на вагоны ідуць разносчыкі марозіва, тыя, хто можа прапанаваць вам самыя розныя смачныя «лёды», як кажуць мае вяскоўцы. «Лёды нікому не робяць шкоды» не толькі ў спёку — тады яны наогул нарасхоп, — а і ў холад, і ў мароз.”

Even closer to Minsk the carriages are attacked by ice-cream peddlers, the ones that can offer you all kinds of the tasty “ice”, as the people from my village call it. “Ice-cream harms no one” not just in hot weather — then they’re really in demand — but also in cold weather, and when it’s freezing.

“[...] Скуль ты ўзяўся, бедачына, / На свеце? // Ці скрасілі цябе лёды, / Марозы?”

… Where from did you appear, poor thing, / In the world? // Have the ices fashion you, / The frosts?

“Шумным сьпевам пройдуць воды, / Паскідаюць з рэчак лёды, / Зноў павее дух малоды.”

The waters will pass with their loud song, / They’ll cast off the ice from the rivers, / The young air will blow again.

“Ў рэках крануліся лёды; / Адна адну крыга прэць [...]”

The ice has broken in the rivers; / One piece of ice pushes another.
