Way to Mandalay [Russian translation]

I wandered down the pathway, through the misty moor

Like I knew he did a thousand times before

Voices seem to echo "Come talk with me a while

Just around the corner, just another mile..."

I had heard the stories, her legend served her well

A mystic's myth or fable, truth or fairy tale

A raggle taggle gypsy , with a toothless smile

Said "Sit with me my darling, let's talk a little while..."

And the road goes on, seeming ever longer on the Way to

Mandalay

And the road goes on, forever will I wander on the Way to

Mandalay...

The mile went on forever, the minutes turned to days

Could I have been misguided by the mystic's ways?

The moment lasts forever, at least it does for me

Caught between what happened and what could never be
