I'm begging you, for a short while at least,
Leave me, my sorrow,
As a cloud, dove-coloured cloud
Fly to my home,
To my home from there
My shore, show me in the distance
Your edge, your thin line,
My shore, my tender shore,
Oh, i wish i could reach you
Reach you some day at least
Somewhere far away,
Somewhere far away
It's raining through sunshine,
Just close to the river
In the little garden
Cherry-trees matured,
Bending down to the ground.
Somewhere far away
In my memory
It's warm like in the childhood now,
Although memory is covered
With such big snowdrifts
Thunderstorm, make me dead drunk
But not dead,
There is again, just like the last time,
I'm looking at the sky
Like looking for the answer.
Somewhere far away,
Somewhere far away
It's raining through sunshine,
Just close to the river
In the little garden
Cherry-trees matured,
Bending down to the ground.
Somewhere far away
In my memory
It's warm like in the childhood now,
Although memory is covered
With such big snowdrifts
I'm begging you, for a short while at least,
Leave me, my pain,
As a cloud, dove-coloured cloud
Fly to my home,
To my home from there
