Александрына [Alieksandryna] [English translation]

I will never forget that song of the past spring:

"Three pine-trees grew along the road to Murom".

I can now confess, I fell then in love,

And failed to compare you with any of the most beautiful flower.

Alexandryna, winter has come by now,

Alexandryna, I have been looking for you, but never found.

Alexandryna, you bloomed with songs,

Alexandryna, you were so dear to me!

Should I say you're a cornflower? Well, it's of single colour.

Should I say you're a lily? Lilies are so cold.

Should I say you're a bell flower? But they are few in the field…

This is how you seemed to me when I was seventeen!

Alexandryna, winter has come by now,

Alexandryna, I have been looking for you but never found.

Alexandryna, you bloomed with songs,

Alexandryna, you were so dear to me!
