За полчаса до весны [Za polchasa do vesny] [English translation]

Autumn forgot in this wet garden

Its ragged head scarf of sopping leaves.

It would be better if I had met you

Some days before our spring.

(Chorus:)

We are late and it is a punishment

For the words of love had been uttered then.

That we both trusted wrong persons, dear

Some days before our spring.

That we both trusted wrong persons, dear

Some days before our spring.

I recollect flexible white willows,

Sounds of silence tinkle in my ears.

Everything was simple and easy

Some days before our spring.

(Chorus.)

If we had known, that in autumn garden

I would find you, and you would find me.

I would have come to you, my darling

Some days before our spring.

(Chorus: 2 x.)
