Та, что смотрит из пруда [Ta, chto smotrit iz pruda] [English translation]

At the pond there sat an artist

he was longing something of his own

running his hands over the water

Watching the sunrise from there

Suddenly someone's face i

in the clear water the artist saw

"Who are you? - quietly whispered he

somewhat embarrassed

But he did not hear anything in reply

Only his soul has revived

In that face he recognized HER

She that he needed so much

Only she he needed so much

She that looks out from the pond

But mermaid took the artist

gently took him by hands

Intoxicated him with a gaze

And took him under the water

To the bottom fell the artist

And sank into his eternal sleep

And mermaid broke in tears

"Oh why did he let himself to die?"
