Ivan, Boris et moi [English translation]

When we were still children

On the path of heather

All along the river

We picked plums

Under the dove's noses

Anton, Ivan, Boris and me

Rebecca, Paula, Johanna and me

Sunday was for going dancing

We put all our shoes

In the same basket

And to avoid ruining them

We went to the dance on foot

(x2) Anton, Ivan, Boris and me

Rebecca, Paula, Johanna and me

It complicated life a bit

Three boys for four girls

We were all in love

You with me and I with him

This one yesterday, the other today

Anton, Ivan, Boris and me

Rebecca, Paula, Johanna and me

At the time of getting married

We all went to look for

Something better than what we had

Within our reach

We left the boys

(x2)Anton, Ivan, Boris and me

Rebecca, Paula, Johanna and me

Today every time we write to each other

It's because we've had a baby

The world may well be large

And not so much that it contains

Our children and their godparents

Anton, Ivan, Boris and me

Rebecca, Paula, Johanna and me

Sacha, Sonia, David and me

Dimitri, Iona, Natacha and me

Sacha, Sonia, David and me

Dimitri, Iona, Natacha and me
