Летний дождь [Letniy dozhd'] [English translation]

Memory has seized stinging

Thoughts do not beat on the hands

You’re going and I’m seeing

You off to the alien lands

You are the constant migrant

Looking for good luck

You came just to say that you went

And you fly again

So scud.

Summer rain, summer rain

It today has pored so early

Summer rain, summer rain

Will clear my heartache curlie-wurlie

We shall share our grieves with it

By the water-blind pane

Summer rain, summer rain

Whispers it to me his wisdom:

You will come, come again

Come again, to return freedom

Missing one’s time is most frequent of life plays

With two actors at stage.

Night dreams of you will soon vanish

Soon they will perish and, oh!

New dream will lighten and get warmth in my old cold home

When you have love, don’t seek more loving

You’ll realize with time

Now you don’t want to hear my cry and you’re lost for a while.

Summer rain, summer rain

It today has pored so early

Summer rain, summer rain

Will clear my heartache curlie-wurlie

We shall share our grieves with it

By the water-blind pane

Summer rain, summer rain

Whispers it to me his wisdom:

You will come, come again

Come again, to return freedom

Missing one’s time is most frequent of life plays

With two actors at stage.
