Алеся [Alesia] [English translation]

Goodbye, dear, awoken by my heart!

Why is it so heart-rending, I cannot understand...

I bleed for the sunrise burning out in the sky

At the sunrise of my day, which is to shine.

You've left, and you will not be back, Alesya,

Goodbye, dusky, beloved, goodbye!

I'm standing at the past crossroads, and in the skies

May is tingling and crying in a skylark.

You've left, leaving me coldness and mist,

Sad regrets of misty roads.

So that years cannot silence

The brief wounds of my heart!

You've left, and you will not be back, Alesya,

Goodbye, dusky, beloved, goodbye!

I'm standing at the past crossroads, and in the skies

May is tingling and crying in a skylark.
