Старая мельница [Staraya melnica] [English translation]

By the quietly splashing stream

Under an orange sunset

In the blue land of lilacs

My childhood has faded like a garden

An old mill spins somewhere

Water crashes against rocks

An old mill...

Everything will be ground to nothing

But love - never

An old mill...

Everything will be ground to nothing

But love - never

I went to a faraway country

The sea, palm trees and sand...

But I see in my dreams at night

My dear land

An old mill spins somewhere

Water crashes against rocks

An old mill...

Everything will be ground to nothing

But love - never

An old mill...

Everything will be ground to nothing

But love - never

I've come back at last

O town of my childhood, how are you?

As before you wait for me by the river

At the same place

As before an old mill spins

Water crashes against rocks

An old mill...

Everything will be ground to nothing

But love - never

An old mill...

Everything will be ground to nothing

But love - never
