|
| I went back there one day
|
| To a quiet city, through days and years.
|
| The city seemed empty to me.
|
| Here once I was young.
|
| This is where my love used to live,
|
| I remember the third house from the corner.
|
| I remember the third house from the corner.
|
| I found this house, I knocked on the window,
|
| I called her name, almost shouted!
|
| And a stranger answered me without evil.
|
| “Here, probably, she never lived.”
|
| - You wrong! |
| the city told me.
|
| - You forgot! |
| the station chuckled.
|
| - You wrong! |
| whispered at home.
|
| Winter crunched with ripe snow.
|
| And smoke curled over the roofs.
|
| But I couldn't be wrong!
|
| But I couldn't be wrong!
|
| After all, it sounded around among the white snows
|
| Echo of first love, echo of old steps!
|
| And over the city the snow kept flying and flying.
|
| This city did not want to recognize me.
|
| It contained both hope and sadness -
|
| I walked over it by heart.
|
| I dived into its lanes,
|
| Where once love was lost.
|
| I searched, I wandered until dark.
|
| But she did not meet anywhere,
|
| But she did not meet anywhere.
|
| I was leaving the city at midnight for home.
|
| He flew outside the window. |
| He accompanied me.
|
| And the night lights repeated brightly:
|
| - What was, is gone! |
| What was, is gone... |
