Schwarze Balalaika [English translation]

A black balalaika

He gave me on farewell

A black balalaika

Is left from my happiness with you

Sasha, Sasha,

Your songs

I sing, I sing

Again and again

Hmmm

I sat alone

On a bank in the park

In front of the academy.

He spoke to me

And it began

A romance as never before

As never before

And the black balalaika

From far and away

Told me even without words

What your heart felt for me

O Sasha, Sasha,

Your songs

I sing, I sing

Again and again

Hmmm

A last kiss

The dream was over

Your train went into the night

My heart was empty

No one but strangers around me

I was alone, so alone

A black balalaika

He gave me on farewell

A black balalaika

Is left from my happiness with you

Sasha, Sasha,

Your songs

I sing, I sing

Again and again

Sasha, Sasha,

Your songs

Sasha, Sasha
