The star fell into the water of Moskva River1, and lit up all the land.
And the mermaid lives in the river, she grieves the whole day and calls to her friends:
"My playmates, my beauties, why you have not taken me with you heretofore?
Why you didn’t say that my fiance was kissing another and seeing her to the door?
You saw everything, knew everything, but you didn’t tell me about their link."
A grass of the Moskva River binds my hands,
fetters my thoughts, tangles my hair.
A grass of the Moskva River binds my hands,
fetters my thoughts, tangles my hair.
And I saw them together in an empty alley that leads to Neskuchnyi Park2.
My heart drowned, rolled into the river, it won't come back.
And he didn’t even notice that I was gone, that the river had taken me away.
But I didn't stop loving him, I call him from afar and complain.
If he meets my eyes, he be on my side.
A grass of the Moskva River binds my hands,
fetters my thoughts, tangles my hair.
A grass of the Moskva River binds my hands,
fetters my thoughts, tangles my hair.
The star fell into the water of Moskva River, and lit up Neskuchnyi Park.
Girls, don't walk on the empty alleys, or you won't go back.
