Восточная песня [Vostochnaya pesnya] [English translation]

Should it be a warm rain or snow falling down

I stand at the entrance of a flat block opposite yours

Waiting for you to pass by or may be not

Should I see you - oh, how happy I am!

So odd and ridiculous is the way our world is organised in

The heart loves but won't tell its love

Let me live unaware of whether you love me or not

That's better than to hear no in answer to my confession

And I'm afraid to hear no

I figured out a song on the guitar

I wish you could hear it because in it

I didn't conceal my melancholy and called you

The tenderest and prettiest one, oh, that's true!

In the quiet of the night I write poems

Let them rant about that everybody does at 19!

Each line has only dots after an L

You're sure to understand everything I meant

Meant to tell you but couldn't.

In the quiet of the night I write poems

Let them rant about that everybody does at 19!

Each line has only dots after an L

You're sure to understand everything I meant

But the spring always sees the snow melt

And to me, you might happen to say yes.

But the spring always sees the snow melt

And to me, you might happen to say yes.
