Lyrics of Proschalnyj luch (a Shine of Farewell): A Shine of Farewell - Клавдия Шульженко

Proschalnyj luch (a Shine of Farewell): A Shine of Farewell (original)

Прощальный луч блеснул вдали,
Блеснул в последний раз,
Наш старый сад огнем залил
И вдруг погас.
Погас, и сразу мгла
На тихий сад легла,
Как будто луч с собой унес
Дыханье свежих роз.
Как этот луч, блеснул твой взгляд,
Блеснул и вмиг погас,
Когда зашли мы молча в сад
В прощальный час.
Погас, и сразу мгла
На сердце мне легла,
Как будто взгляд прощальный твой
Унес любовь с собой.

(translation)

A parting ray flashed in the distance,
Flashed for the last time
Our old garden was flooded with fire
And suddenly it went out.
It went out, and immediately darkness
She lay down in a quiet garden,
As if the beam took away
Breath of fresh roses.
Like this ray, your eyes flashed,
Flashed and instantly went out,
When we silently entered the garden
At the farewell hour.
It went out, and immediately darkness
Lies on my heart
As if your farewell glance
He took love with him.
